Product Description

Ron Greschner was selected 32nd overall by the Rangers in 1974 after accumulating 182 points in three years of junior hockey with the WCJHL's New Westminster Bruins. In 1974 he was named to the league's first all-star team based on his 103-point season. The young blueliner scored 45 points as an NHL rookie in 1974-75 and never looked back. By the end of the 1976-77 season Greschner was a key figure in the Blueshirts' transition game and power play. He was one of the most popular rearguards to ever play in Manhattan and reached the 20-goal mark four times. In 1978-79 he was an alternate on the NHL All-Star team when they faced their counterparts from the USSR. A few weeks later he scored 12 points in 18 games as the Rangers reached the finals for the first time since 1972. In 1979-80 Greschner scored 21 goals and participated in the NHL All-Star Game. Greschner ultimately spent his entire career with the Rangers and to this day is the second highest-scoring defenseman in team history.
