New Jersey Devils

The New Jersey Devils are a National Hockey League team based in the Continental Airlines Arena of the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Originally founded as the Kansas City Scouts in 1974, the team moved to Denver, Colorado two years later and became the Colorado Rockies before moving to its current location in 1982.

After failing to make the playoffs their first six seasons in New Jersey, the Devils made their first playoff appearance in 1988. After several early playoff eliminations, as well as losing a seven-game Eastern Conference Final to their archrival New York Rangers in 1994, the Devils won their first Stanley Cup in 1995, defeating the Detroit Red Wings in four games straight. They have since won two more Stanley Cups, in 2000 and 2003, as well as another Finals appearance in 2001. They are now considered one of the top teams in the National Hockey League.
