Ronald John Greschner, Gresh to his teammates, was selected 32nd overall by the New York Rangers in the 1974 NHL Amateur Draft.

He played in 982 career NHL games, all with the Rangers, scoring 179 goals and 431 assists for 610 points. He also compiled 1,226 penalty minutes, the most in Rangers franchise history.<\/p>\n

Gresh\u2019s best offensive season came in 1978 when he scored 24 goals and 48 assists for 72 points, sometimes being deployed by coach Crag Patrick at left wing.
\nIn the 2009 book 100 Ranger Greats<\/em>, the authors ranked Greschner at No. 12 all-time of the 901 Rangers who had played during the team\u2019s first 82 seasons<\/p>\n

Overall, he played just shy of 1000 regular NHL games plus 84 more in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

He was enshrined in the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
