New York Rangers Retirement Nights

During the 2000s, the Rangers hosted three iconic moments honoring key members of the franchise’s history.  In February of 2008 and 2009, the Rangers retired the numbers of Brian Leetch, Adam Graves, Andy Bathgate and Harry Howell. Anthony planned and managed the private pre-game, post-game, and in-game ceremonies and receptions to honor these legends.  Each night had a theme (Adam Graves - “Heart of a Ranger”) and distinct elements personal to each retiring honoree and commemorative merchandise.  Anthony managed the guestlist for the honorees, managing family and personal tickets, as well as invites to former teammates and ceremony participants.  Anthony provided concierge services to alumni and VIP guests in the areas of hotel, car, and travel accommodations, and worked in conjunction with event presentation to execute rehearsals.  To maximize resources, many alumni also worked the game visiting fans at viewing party events, client receptions in hospitality areas, and suiteholders throughout the nights.
