New Jersey Devils history

This club has lived in three places. It began as the Kansas City Scouts in 1974, moved to Denver in 1976 as the Colorado Rockies, and x, New Jersey, in 1982. The new name came from the legendary Jersey Devil creature. The first eight years before New Jersey brought just one playoff trip and no winning seasons.

Things turned once Lou Lamoriello took over as president and general manager in 1987. The Devils made the playoffs in all but three years between 1988 and 2012, including 13 straight from 1997 to 2010. After 25 seasons at the Meadowlands, they moved to Prudential Center in Newark in 2007, which seats 16,514.
