“Now I feel like it’s a different time and they care about their style.” “The contrast was bigger before,” he said. He said in the 11 years he’s been attending the event, he’s seen his teammates’ sense of style improve. “But this is for a great cause and the guys enjoy it.” Lundqvist said he enjoys the opportunity to see his teammates dress in formalwear, although “I see them in suits four or five days a week,” he said. He said the European sizing of F’s collection usually fits him well and doesn’t require much tailoring. “He has his own store in the Meatpacking District, across from the Standard Hotel,” Lundqvist said.

Rangers captain, Ryan McDonagh, who was dressed by John Varvatos for the evening, was dealing blackjack, while other players mingled and chatted with the fans. Henrik Lundqvist, the Rangers star goalie and spokesman for the Garden of Dreams, welcomed the well-heeled attendees who paid up to $2,000 a ticket for the chance to rub elbows with Lundqvist and his teammates. The girl, Kayleigh Petersen, was featured on the ice before the game and introduced with the starters that night. The evening started off with a video of a young girl whose liver disease caused her to have a transplant at 18 months and who was signed to a one-day “free agent” contract by the team, making her the first female to ever be a Ranger.

Presented by Empire City Casino, the event at Gotham Hall served as a fund-raiser for the Garden of Dreams Foundation, a nonprofit organization that raises funds for children facing obstacles. The New York Rangers traded their blue shirts for black tie Tuesday night as the players turned out in force at the team’s annual Casino Night.
