Saint Paul Rangers
The Saint Paul Rangers were one of the original five CHL franchise, beginning play in the 1963-64 season and wearing the same colors as their pro affiliate in New York. The Rangers, coached by the legendary Fred Shero, would lose in the CHL finals during their first season to the Omaha Knights. They would make up for it a year later, by winning the finals over Tulsa in 1965. For the 1965-66 season, neighboring Minneapolis lost their CHL team, so the Rangers rebranded to the Minnesota Rangers.
