Ron Greschner dedicated years of his life to the New York Rangers, becoming one of the most formidable defensemen in the team's history. Despite his significant contributions and undeniable statistics, his #4 jersey has yet to be retired and hung from the rafters of Madison Square Garden.

Greschner led all Rangers defensemen in penalty minutes with 1,226, showcasing his dedication and fierce defense during games. Furthermore, his 51 power play goals and 6 shorthanded goals rank second among all Rangers defensemen, underlining his versatility and offensive prowess.

With statistics that speak volumes of his contribution to the Rangers, it's only fitting that Ron Greschner's jersey be retired. His career was not just about numbers, but about heart, passion, and dedication to the sport and the New York Rangers.
