In the NY Times, Dave Caldwell looked at the story of the Rangers Broadway Hat.
The hat was brought back from Sweden by Brad Richards and is awarded to one player after each game.
“Obviously, people think it’s funny, because it’s a funny-looking hat, but the point is, you want to be awarded that hat,” said center Brian Boyle. “I think it’s a cool thing we have. Another quirk. Just goes to show you that our team’s a pretty tight group.”
