The New Jersey Devils are a professional ice hockey team from Newark, New Jersey, in the United States. They play in the National Hockey League (NHL) as part of the Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference. The team first joined the League in 1974 as the Kansas City Scouts. After two years, they moved to Denver, Colorado, and were called the Colorado Rockies. In 1982, the team moved again to New Jersey, where they became the Devils. Their home games are played at the Prudential Center.

The Devils and their players have won many awards and honors. They have won the Prince of Wales Trophy five times as the best team in the Eastern Conference playoffs. They have also won the famous Stanley Cup three times: in 1995, 2000, and 2003. Martin Brodeur, a former goalie, is the team's most awarded player. He won the Vezina Trophy four times and the William M. Jennings Trophy five times. He also won the Calder Memorial Trophy as the best rookie.

Some of the Devils' greatest players have had their jersey numbers retired. This means no other player on the team can wear that number again. These players include Patrik Elias (No. 26), Martin Brodeur (No. 30), Scott Stevens (No. 4), Ken Daneyko (No. 3), and Scott Niedermayer (No. 27). Many of these players, along with others like Brendan Shanahan and Joe Nieuwendyk, are in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Even coaches and managers, like Herb Brooks and Lou Lamoriello, have been honored there.

The Devils also have special awards they give out within their team. These include the Three-Star Award, the Hugh Delano Unsung Hero, the Devils' Players' Player, and the Most Valuable Devil awards. These are given out at the end of each season.

Their most recent Stanley Cup win was in 2003.

Individual Awards: Star Players

Many Devils players have won individual awards for their amazing skills. Martin Brodeur is the most awarded player in Devils history. He won the Vezina Trophy four times for being the best goalie. He also won the William M. Jennings Trophy five times for allowing the fewest goals. Brodeur was also named the NHL's best rookie, winning the Calder Memorial Trophy.

Scott Stevens, a former Devils captain, also won many honors. He was chosen for four All-Star teams. Scott Niedermayer won the James Norris Memorial Trophy in 2004. This award goes to the league's best defenseman. Taylor Hall is the only Devil to win the Hart Memorial Trophy, which is for the league's most valuable player.

Martin Brodeur is the most decorated Devil in franchise history.

Scott Niedermayer, shown here with the Anaheim Ducks, is the only Devil to win the Norris Trophy.

All-Star Game Selections

The National Hockey League All-Star Game is a special game played in the middle of the season. It features many of the best players from around the league. The Devils have had at least one player chosen for almost every All-Star Game since they moved to New Jersey. In total, 21 different players have represented the Devils in this event.

The Devils even hosted the 1984 All-Star Game at the Meadowlands Arena. In that game, the Wales Conference team beat the Campbell Conference team 7–6. Devils goalie Glenn Resch was the winning goalie, and defenseman Joe Cirella scored a goal and an assist. Scott Stevens was chosen for 11 All-Star games, which is a team record.

The NHL also has a YoungStars Game for newer players. The Devils have sent three players to this game: Paul Martin, Zach Parise, and David Clarkson. Zach Parise was even named the MVP of the 2007 YoungStars game. Defenseman Scott Niedermayer won the "Fastest Skater" event twice during the SuperSkills Competition.

Selected by fan vote

Zach Parise was the MVP of the 2007 YoungStars game.

Alexander Mogilny was selected for the 2001 All-Star game, but did not play due to injury.

Brian Rafalski was selected to three All-Star games as a member of the Devils.

Retired Numbers: Honoring Legends Forever

The retired numbers of Ken Daneyko (no. 3) and Scott Stevens (no. 4) hang in the rafters of the Prudential Center.

The Devils have retired five jersey numbers. This means no other player on the team can ever wear these numbers again. These numbers belong to players who made a huge impact on the team.

No. 4 for Scott Stevens: Retired in February 2006. Stevens was the team's captain for 13 seasons. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP when the Devils won the Stanley Cup in 2000.
No. 3 for Ken Daneyko: Retired in March 2006. Daneyko played his entire career with the Devils. He played more games than anyone else in franchise history.
No. 27 for Scott Niedermayer: Retired in December 2011. Niedermayer won three Stanley Cups with the Devils.
No. 30 for Martin Brodeur: Retired in February 2016. Brodeur is considered one of the greatest goalies of all time.
No. 26 for Patrik Elias: Retired in February 2018. Elias spent his whole career with the Devils and holds many team records.

The number 99 is also out of circulation for all NHL teams. This number was retired league-wide for Wayne Gretzky in 2000, even though he never played for the Devils.
