The Rangers are not a pro team by IIHF rules. I know, they get paid, but hockey has always engaged in remarkable doublespeak about amateurism. I seem to recall forty-odd years ago the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association declaring that an amateur player was anyone who received less than $40-odd a game (the equivalent of $250-odd today, I should think).

Anyway, if you want to revert to calling the Rnagers a pro team, I won;t get into a reversion war, but I'll probably add a clarification. TronTonian 17:07, 24 May 2004 (UTC)
