Adam Graves to get his number retired

Found January 25, 2008 on The Hockey Herald:
TEAMS: New York Rangers

In classic Brian Leetch fashion, the man who played 16 seasons in New York and helped deliver the Rangers' first Stanley Cup championship in 54 years, chose his own ceremony to publicize the Rangers organization's decision to honor one of his former teammates, No. 9 Adam Graves. The stunning announcement that Graves will join Leetch, Mark Messier, Mike Richter, Ed Giacomin and Rod Gilbert in The Garden rafters next season was one of many highlights on Thursday ? an evening that will live in the memory of all who were fortunate enough to see it unfold.

Via The Hockey Herald  |  January 24, 2008
Before the Rangers face the Atlanta Thrashers tonight, Leetch's No. 2 will be raised to the Madison Square Garden rafters alongside Messier's No. 11 and Richter's No. 35 — completing the trio most responsible for ending the Rangers' 54-year Stanley Cup drought in 1994.
