New Jersey Devils

The New Jersey Devils are a professional ice hockey team based in Newark, New Jersey. The Devils compete in the National Hockey League as a member of the Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference. The club was founded as the Kansas City Scouts in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1974. The Scouts moved to Denver in 1976 and became the Colorado Rockies. In 1982, they moved to East Rutherford, New Jersey, and took their current name, which alludes to the Jersey Devil creature of local legend. For their first 25 seasons in New Jersey, the Devils were based at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford and played their home games at Brendan Byrne Arena. Before the 2007–08 season, the team moved to Prudential Center in Newark. Since 2013, the Devils have been owned and managed by Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment. The franchise was poor to mediocre in the eight years before moving to New Jersey, with only one playoff appearance and no winning seasons.
