#20 – F – Jax Aittokallio (S44 – Present)
452 GP, 148 G + 195 A = 343 P, -23, 92 PIM, 242 Hit, 106 SB, 1409 S, 21.82 MPG, 2.09 P/60
Known originally for the name on the back of the jersey, sharing it with the general manager and then-coach, the spotlight has always been on Jax. Now in the top-10 in goal scoring all time and top-15 in points, he has proven himself a superstar in every way for Manhattan. While never surpassing 50 points in a season, he did put up 48 points in S49 and has been a consistent performer in the playoffs, putting up 36 points in 46 games and making himself one of the best scorers in post-season history for the Rage, living up to the name on both the front and the back of the jersey.


#19 – G – CJ James (S21 – S25)
228 GP, 114-98-16, .906 SV%, 2.44 GAA, 20 PIM, 17 SO, 11 A
The shepherd himself, bringing the Rage to the promised land of the Cup Finals for only their second time in history and being the first goaltender to win a Challenge Cup in the borough. James is a fondly remembered goaltender who had an unorthodox style, aggressive with flair. He retired as the all-time leader in SV%, PIMs and Assists, as well as playoff wins. He was a machine who was able to take over any game at any time, and made his mark on the team forever.


#18 – G – Jason Aittokallio (S31 – S41)
429 GP, 208-185-36, .907 SV%, 2.96 GAA, 21 SO, 36 PIM, 12 A
The winningest goaltender in Rage history, Jason is the only one to surpass even 150 wins with the franchise. Also leading in SV%, Shutouts, Assists and PIMs, Jason was an all-around force for the Rage’s goaltending. Following in his father’s footsteps, he didn’t reach the heights expected, but in only three playoff appearances managed a 33-10-6 record with a .923 SV%, showing that he had the ability to take things a step further in the post-season and take over games when they mattered most. His first Cup win in S34 he went 12-0-2, and in S38 won again with a .934 SV%, winning his only award of his career – the Anton Razov Trophy as playoff MVP, and solidifying himself as a household name for Rage fans. He returned to be coach following his retirement, before being removed on a disappointing season.


#17 – F – Kian Hamilton (S32 – S35, S39)
262 GP, 131 G + 160 A = 291 P, +7, 103 PIMs, 253 Hit, 85 SB, 1314 S, 27.02 MPG, 2.47 P/60
An all-star in three of his five seasons with the team, Hamilton is remembered for partnering well with VLAD McZehrl in his time in the borough. One of three point-per-game players in team history, Hamilton was an electric player who possessed a combination of speed and skill the likes of which are unmatched. However, he wasn’t a very physical or defensive player and was a player gifted opportunity more often than not. What he did with that opportunity in his 27 minutes per game, was often spectacular however as he scored 58 points in his first three seasons with the team before setting a career high of 62 points in S35. He was a part of only one Cup for the team, but he was a key contributor who has highlights still airing for Manhattan.


#16 – F – VLAD McZehrl (S30 – S34)
279 GP, 190 G + 201 A = 391 P, +25, 179 PIM, 636 Hit, 99 SB, 1668 S, 28.49 MPG, 2.95 P/60
Arguably one of the most controversial figures in Rage history, McZehrl had a storm follow him anywhere he went. However, he was the storm on the ice. He is the highest points per game in Rage history, and among players under 300 games played he has by far the most minutes played. He was a workhorse who spent nearly half the game on the ice, which was touted for it’s success on the ice, but often criticized for stunting the growth of other players on the team. He won the Anton Razov Trophy in S34 before his infamous exit.


#15 – D – Bubba Nuck (S36 – S41)
268 GP, 44 G + 164 A = 208 P, +24, 255 PIM, 517 Hit, 478 SB, 601 S, 24.74 MPG, 1.88 P/60
While he appeared on the downswing of his career when acquired, Nuck went on to find a renaissance of sorts in Manhattan. He earned three post-season All-Star nods, while winning the Stevens Trophy in both S34 and S36, as well as helping the team to a Cup victory in S38. In his short time with the team, he managed to climb the ranks and become the third highest scoring defenseman in team history at the time he was moved. However, as is common in Manhattan, he found himself in controversy with his exit, following a heavily publicized spat with teammate Brett Kennedy which saw both exit the borough eventually. Nuck was a superb talent in his time with the Rage, but is now only remembered for his ranting and anger instead.


#14 – D – Barret McCarthy (S46 – Present)
352 GP, 44 G + 216 A = 260 P, -25, 207 PIM, 529 Hit, 516 SB, 528 S, 22.94 MPG, 1.93 P/60
A more recent star, McCarthy stepped in for S46 and made an immediate impact. He won the Ryan Jesster Trophy in his first season, and has been nominated for a post-season All-Star Team as well as nominated for the Scott Stevens Trophy for the first time in his career in just S49 when he put up 47 points in 50 games. McCarthy has made short order of the top scoring defensemen list, putting himself in the conversation with the likes of Darian Scherbluk, Wyatt Wollker and Roy Razin as some of the highest scoring defensemen in team history. While he was the fifth defenseman in team history to surpass 200 points, he is the quickest since Wollker and Razin. He’s helped the team to multiple Conference Finals in his time and now is on his way to more accolades well before his tenth season. At this point, his jersey fills the stands already and will go down as one of the most beloved players of all time.


#13 – F/D - Jordan McArthur (S8 – S14, S20 - S21)
461 GP, 120 G + 207 A = 327 P, -15, 362 PIM, 689 Hit, 190 SB, 819 S, 19.31 MPG, 2.20 P/60
An interesting case joining the list, McArthur never won an award and was never on any post-season lists. He was never a standout outside of a couple of seasons where he put up major points and carried himself up the list of scorers for Rage history. In S9 he put up 50 points, S10 he followed it with 63 and finally in S11 he had his career year with 81 points. He is one of very few players to put up 80 points in a season in the SHL, playing an integral part of the line-up. From that point forward, however, he would fail to top 20 points other than in S20 for Manhattan again when he returned not as his original wing position but as a defenseman who put in 24 points. He was never a part of major success, but is a name that has become beloved in time with the Rage due to his willingness to do anything for the success of the team, playing every role given to him. He has been seen as embodying the mentality of the Rage best, being a breakout scorer and an unassuming depth piece at times.


#12 – F – Jordan Nugent-Hall (S10 – S14, S18 – S19)
372 GP, 139 G + 171 A = 310 P, +91, 195 PIM, 954 Hit, 54 SB, 1048 S, 20.90 MPG, 2.39 P/60
Nugent-Hall brought his friends with him in S18 to make one last run in Manhattan, all to no avail unfortunately. However, he was Rage through-and-through. A player with a deep love for the borough, Nugent-Hall was on post-season All-Star lists in S11 and 13, putting up a career-high 67 points in S11 just his second in the league. He helped the team get to their first Cup Final appearance, and fought to get them to the Conference Finals before things fell apart for them and everybody was dispersed. Years later, he returned a hero in hopes of taking the Rage back. While he was just a few seasons early, he was immediately recognized as the boy who loved the borough and has since been a legend of folklore talked about daily in the halls of the Garden.


#11 – F – Luke Atmey (S36 – S41)
278 GP, 136 G + 166 A = 302 P, +45, 94 PIM, 397 Hit, 91 SB, 1293 S, 23.78 MPG, 2.74 P/60
In a deal to bring in a game-breaking talent, Atmey made his way to Manhattan. He only enjoyed a playoff appearance with them once, in S38, helping them to win a Challenge Cup. However, beyond that, he was the driving force of the Rage in the late 30s. He drove play in a way that no other ever could. He lands as the third player to top a point-per-game in team history, and was seen as a true gentleman both on and off the ice. His impact in the community may be what he’s most well remembered for even in spite of his constant highlight reel play-making. His willingness to re-sign with the team in order to allow a trade sparked the rebuild which brought on the greatest period of success in team history, showing his personality as one with no ego and a lot of loyalty. Atmey has recently worked with the Chicago Syndicate, but continually is cheered any time he’s seen in the Garden whether he works for the enemy or not.
