Martin was a Stanley Cup Champion with the Tampa Bay Lightning back in 2003-04 under John Tortorella. St. Louis was a six-time NHL All-Star and won multiple NHL Awards including two Art Ross trophies and three Lady Byngs, as well as the Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award.
A legendary honor for a man who has left a lasting impact as a Blueshirt and throughout the hockey community

The Rangers traded for St. Louis in 2014, in a deal that sent the Tampa captain to NY in exchange for Rangers captain Ryan Callahan. St. Louis took some time before scoring his first Rangers goal, a shorthanded tally in Vancouver. But Marty saved his best for the postseason, helping the Rangers reach the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in 20 years. Though it was a short stint with the Rangers before his retirement, St. Louis scored two of the more memorable goals in recent Rangers history.
From Rangers fans everywhere, Congrats Marty!
