New Jersey Devils - Ring of Honor

2017-Jan-06 – Prudential Center, Newark, NJ – Thirty-five years after he brought NHL hockey to New Jersey, including two Stanley Cup Championships under his watch, Dr. John J. McMullen was celebrated by the Devils as the team’s first Ring of Honor inductee. The first 9,000 Devils fans through the doors will receive a commemorative 1.75-inch Ring of Honor commemorative lapel pin. 

Dr. McMullen purchased the Colorado Rockies in 1982 and moved the franchise to the Meadowlands, renaming the team the New Jersey Devils after a fan vote. The logo design combines the outline of the Rockies logo in the colors of the Devils, with a central Devils logo
