The New York Rangers decided to arrive New York style at MetLife Stadium ahead of their Stadium Series game against the New York Islanders on Sunday afternoon.
The Rangers arrived in East Rutherford, New Jersey, accompanied by members of the FDNY and NYPD while wearing jerseys from each first responder's hockey clubs.
Every player entering the arena was next to an NYPD officer or FDNY firefighter after traveling to the game in fire trucks and police cars.

The NHL's annual Stadium Series came to MetLife Stadium for the second straight day after the New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia Flyers played Saturday night, with the home Jersey team taking the 6-3 victory.
Of course, this game counts like any other regular season contest, but each team is trying to soak it all in during this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
“I think everyone wants to dive in and make sure you're really enjoying the moment, how amazing it is to play in an outdoor game,” Rangers center Vincent Trocheck said before the game. “But once you're on the ice, it's all business and it's just another regular season game.”
The Rangers are no strangers to Stadium Series games, having played the Devils and Islanders at Yankee Stadium in 2014.
They also played in the NHL Winter Classic against the Flyers in 2012 and the Buffalo Sabers in 2018 at Citi Field, winning both games.
