The Rangers were granted a franchise to play in the AHA for the 1941-1942 season,[1] but they were only able to play in that one season before the AHA ceased operations due to World War II. The league was resurrected for the 1945-1946 season as the USHL, where the Rangers played for four seasons[2] until the team folded after the 1948-1949 season.
The team's most successful seasons on the ice were the 1946–1947 and 1947-1948 seasons, when they finished in second place. The team folded after the 1948-1949 season due to excessive travel expenses.
