The New Jersey Devils are an American professional ice hockey team based in Newark, New Jersey. They are members of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Devils entered the league as the Kansas City Scouts in 1974. After just two years in Kansas City, they moved to Denver, Colorado where they were known as the Colorado Rockies. In 1982, the team moved again to New Jersey. They currently play their home games at the Prudential Center.

The franchise and its members have won numerous team and individual awards and honors. They have captured the Prince of Wales Trophy as the Eastern Conference playoff champion four times. The Devils won the Stanley Cup three times, in 1995, 2000, and 2003. Martin Brodeur is the team's most decorated player, having won the Vezina Trophy and the William M. Jennings Trophy four times each, and the Calder Memorial Trophy once, along with several selections to the NHL First and Second All-Star teams. Scott Stevens played in ten National Hockey League All-Star Games, more than any player in team history.

Two players have had their numbers retired by the team. Scott Stevens' #4 and Ken Daneyko's #3 were removed from circulation in 2006. Stevens is also one of several Hockey Hall of Famers who were associated with the Devils. Peter Stastny, Viacheslav Fetisov, and Igor Larionov each spent time in New Jersey during their Hall of Fame careers, while coach Herb Brooks and general manager Lou Lamoriello have been inducted as builders. Longtime broadcaster Mike Emrick was enshrined in 2009 as a "Media honoree".

The Devils have four internal team awards. The Sharp Electronics Three-Star is awarded to the player who earns the most three-star selections throughout the season. The Hugh Delano Unsung Hero, the Devils' Players' Player, and the Most Valuable Devil are presented towards the end of each season.

All-Star Game selections

[edit]

The National Hockey League All-Star Game is a mid-season exhibition game held annually between many of the top players of each season. Twenty-three All-Star Games have been held since the Devils arrived in New Jersey, with at least one player representing the Devils in each year. In total, 17 players have been selected to represent the Devils during the competition. The All-Star game has not been held in various years: 1995 and 2005 as a result of labor stoppages, 2006 and 2010 because of the Winter Olympics, and 1987 due to the Rendez-vous '87 series between the NHL and the Soviet national team.

The Devils hosted the 1984 All-Star Game at the Meadowlands Arena. The Wales Conference defeated the Campbell Conference 7-6; Devils goaltender Glenn Resch got the win for the Wales, while defenseman Joe Cirella added a goal and an assist.[13] Scott Stevens was named to 11 All-Star games, and played in ten, both team records. Devils coaches Jacques Lemaire, Robbie Ftorek, and Larry Robinson have all served as coaches for All-Star teams.

During All-Star Weekend, the NHL also holds a YoungStars Game for first- and second-year players.[13] The Devils have sent three players: Paul Martin, Zach Parise, and David Clarkson. Parise was the MVP of the 2007 game, after scoring two goals and four assists.[13] Defenseman Scott Niedermayer has also won the Fastest Skater event during the SuperSkills Competition twice, in 1998 and 2004.[14]

Zach Parise was the MVP of the 2007 YoungStars game.
Alexander Mogilny was selected for the 2001 All-Star game, but did not play due to injury.
Brian Rafalski was selected to three All-Star games as a member of the Devils.

Career achievements

[edit]

Hockey Hall of Fame

[edit]
Main article: New Jersey Devils § Honored members

Several members of the Devils organization have been honored by the Hockey Hall of Fame during the team's history in New Jersey. Peter Stastny was the first former Devils to be inducted, gaining election in 1998. Stastny played part of four seasons with the Devils, scoring 173 points in 217 games. Former teammate Viacheslav Fetisov joined him in 2001; the Russian defenseman played six years in New Jersey, and was an assistant coach from 1999 to 2002. Scott Stevens, the team captain for 13 years, was inducted in 2007, the first Hall member to earn his credentials primarily as a member of the Devils. In 2008, Igor Larionov was inducted into the Hall; he played his final season with the Devils in the 2003–04 NHL season. Devils coaches Jacques Lemaire (inducted 1984) and Larry Robinson (inducted 1995) were inducted as players prior to their involvement with the Devils organization.

In addition to players, two members of team management have been inducted in the "Builders" category. Former coach Herb Brooks, the man behind the United States' improbable "Miracle on Ice" victory in the 1980 Winter Olympics, was inducted in 2006. Brooks coached the Devils during the 1992–93 campaign. Three years later, longtime general manager Lou Lamoriello was inducted. Lamoriello, the team's third GM, has been with the team since 1987, and is considered responsible for engineering the franchise's success.[24]

In 2008, longtime Devils television broadcaster Mike "Doc" Emrick was honored with the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for his years of play-by-play broadcasting for the Devils and various other networks and teams, and was inducted into the Hall.[25] In addition to the Devils, Emrick is the regular play-by-play announcer for the NHL on NBC, and has covered multiple Olympic broadcasts.[26]

Retired numbers

[edit]
The retired numbers of Ken Daneyko (#3) and Scott Stevens (#4) hang in the rafters of the Prudential Center.

The Devils have retired two numbers, and a third was retired by the NHL league-wide. The Devils retired #4 for defenseman Scott Stevens in February 2006. Stevens was the team's captain for 13 seasons, and won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the playoffs during the team's Stanley Cup victory in 2000. The following month, the team retired #3 in honor of longtime defenseman Ken Daneyko. Daneyko was drafted by the Devils in 1982, and spent his entire career with the team, retiring as the franchise's all-time leader in games played.[27] Wayne Gretzky's #99 was retired by the league in 2000.
