The fun begins at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 1 with New York Rangers Legend Stéphane Matteau, who will mingle with fans, sign autographs and cheer the Rangers on as they face off against the Montreal Canadiens. Previous New York Rangers hosts over the years have included legendary goaltender Mike Richter, Adam Graves, Steve Vickers, Nick Fotiu and others. Most Rangers fans remember Matteau for his game-winning wraparound goal in double overtime of Game 7 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals against the New Jersey Devils that helped pave the way for the Rangers first Stanley Cup championship in over 54 years. More recently, Matteau has dedicated his time giving back to local communities, including partnering with the Woodlawn Student Leadership & Legacy Program in the Bronx, which provides mentorship opportunities with notable figures. The viewing parties, held inside of Dan Rooney’s Sports Pub, are FREE for all to attend and begin 30-minutes before the puck drops.
