New York Rangers legends return to Madison Square Garden on Sunday for the Alumni Classic.
This is the fifth straight year for the Alumni Classic, as it originated back in 2021. Madison Square Garden will be home for the Alumni Classic for the second straight year. The game will have two 25-minute halves with a running clock and halftime.
Rangers alumni across different generations, such as Mike Richter, Adam Graves, Ryan Callahan, Henrik Lundqvist, Dan Girardi, and more, will return on the ice. Rangers Alumni coaches will also be present, including Ron Greschner, Nick Fotiu, Tony Granato, and more.
The gameday experience can be even more memorable and special by purchasing an in-game experience to the 2026 Alumni Classic, presented by Northwell. There are four different ways to brighten the experience. Fans can share a special message to their loved ones for everyone to see with a GardenVision message. Children can have fun as they get to be the center of attention by riding the Zamboni during the halftime of the game. Families and friends can take a postgame photo on the garden ice. A maximum of 10 people will be allowed to be in the photo. Lastly, you can purchase a mystery puck signed by Rangers alumni or a current player. The special message to be seen on GardenVision is still available, as the other in-game experience add-ons have sold out.
There are three different experiences, which include the assistant coach experience, the penalty box photo experience, and stick kids. For the assistant coach experience, you’ll be able to sit on one of the benches and act as an assistant coach. Fans have the opportunity to watch the entire game from the home or away team penalty box as part of the penalty box photo experience.
The proceeds from the matchup will benefit the Northwell Foundation and Garden of Dreams Foundation. Northwell Foundation supports children with cancer diagnoses. The Garden of Dreams helps young people facing illnesses, financial challenges, or the death or injury of a family member in uniform experience lasting joy and build successful futures.
