THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, April 14, 1933

* New York Rangers - NHL Hockey
* Wins Stanley Cup title
* Best title to have in?

This 40 page newspaper has a six column headline on page 25: "Crowd of 13,500 Sees Rangers Win Hockey Championship" with subheads and lineups. (see)

Tells of the New York Rangers winning the 1932-33 Stanley Cup by defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs. Great to have in this famous NYC title. Be the envy of your fellow Rangers fan buddies with this original issue from the early days of hockey.

Other news of the day throughout. Light browning with minor margin wear, otherwise good.

wikipedia notes: The New York Rangers are a professional ice hockey team based in New York, New York, United States. They are members of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). Playing their home games at Madison Square Garden, the Rangers are one of the oldest teams in the NHL, having joined in 1926 as an expansion franchise, and are part of the group of teams referred to as the Original Six. The Rangers were the first NHL franchise in the United States to win the Stanley Cup, which they have done four times (most recently in 1994).

After a loss to the Bruins in the 1928–29 finals[1] and a few mediocre seasons in the early 1930s, the Rangers, led by brothers Bill and Bun Cook on the right and left wings, respectively, and Frank Boucher at center, would defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1932–33 best-of-five finals, three games to one, to win their second Stanley Cup, exacting revenge on the Leafs' "Kid line" of Busher Jackson, Joe Primeau, and Charlie Conacher. The Rangers would spend the rest of the 1930s playing close to 0.500 hockey until their next Cup win. Lester Patrick stepped down as head coach and was replaced by Frank Boucher.
