Rangers to retire Vic Hadfield's No. 11

Vic Hadfield will be the 10th player to have his number retired by the New York Rangers.

Hadfield's No. 11 will be raised to the rafters in an on-ice ceremony before a game against the Winnipeg Jets on Dec. 2, the Rangers announced on Tuesday.

The former forward played parts of 13 seasons with the Rangers from 1961-62 to 1973-74, ranking fifth in franchise history in career goals (262), 10th in assists (310), and ninth in points (572).

He was a two-time All-Star and the first Ranger to score 50 goals in a season, accomplishing the feat in 1971-72, which was also when his three-season stretch as the Rangers' captain began.

He finished his career playing three campaigns with the Pittsburgh Penguins after a trade following the 1973-74 season.
