The New Jersey Devils are a professional ice hockey franchise situated in Newark, New Jersey, competing within the Metropolitan Division of the NHL's Eastern Conference. Founded in 1974 originally as the Kansas City Scouts, the team underwent two relocations—initially moving to Denver to become the Colorado Rockies before finally establishing themselves in New Jersey in 1982. Their home games are hosted at the Prudential Center.

The Devils have achieved notable accomplishments both on and off the ice, capturing the Stanley Cup on three occasions (1995, 2000, 2003) and claiming the Prince of Wales Trophy five times as champions of the Eastern Conference. Among their standout figures is former goaltender Martin Brodeur, who holds four Vezina Trophy wins, five William M. Jennings Trophy honors, and a Calder Memorial Trophy, making him the most decorated player in franchise history. Scott Stevens leads the team with ten NHL All-Star selections, while Taylor Hall is distinguished as the franchise’s only winner of the Hart Memorial Trophy.

The Devils have retired five jersey numbers to pay tribute to their legendary players: Patrik Elias (#26, retired in 2018), Brodeur (#30, 2016), Stevens (#4), Ken Daneyko (#3), and Scott Niedermayer (#27, 2011). Numerous Hall of Famers have been connected to the organization, including Joe Nieuwendyk, Brendan Shanahan, Doug Gilmour, Dave Andreychuk, Peter Stastny, Viacheslav Fetisov, and Igor Larionov. The franchise’s leadership legacy features inductees such as coach Herb Brooks and general manager Lou Lamoriello recognized as builders. Additionally, longtime commentator Mike Emrick was honored with a media award in 2009.

Within the organization, four annual awards are presented to acknowledge player achievements and contributions: the Three-Star Award (for most three-star recognitions), Hugh Delano Unsung Hero Award, Players' Player Award, and Most Valuable Devil Award.

Team trophies

The Devils have claimed the title of Eastern Conference champions five times and have won the prestigious Stanley Cup three times, with their latest triumph occurring in 2003.

All-Star Game Selections

The National Hockey League All-Star Game is an annual exhibition held mid-season featuring elite players. Since moving to New Jersey, the Devils have had representation in at least one All-Star Game for 30 editions, with a total of 21 different players appearing for the franchise. The event has been canceled in certain years due to labor disputes, Olympic participation, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Devils served as hosts for the 36th National Hockey League All-Star Game, held in 1984 at Meadowlands Arena, where the Wales Conference emerged victorious over the Campbell Conference with a score of 7–6. Goaltender Chico Resch (Glenn Resch) secured the win, while defenseman Joe Cirella contributed both a goal and an assist. Scott Stevens holds franchise records with eleven total selections and ten game appearances. Additionally, coaches Jacques Lemaire, Robbie Ftorek, and Larry Robinson have been appointed to lead All-Star teams.

During the All-Star Weekend, the NHL organizes a NHL YoungStars Game showcasing first- and second-year players; three Devils have participated: Paul Martin, Zach Parise, and David Clarkson. Parise earned MVP honors at the 2007 YoungStars game by tallying two goals and four assists. Defenseman Scott Niedermayer claimed victory twice in the Fastest Skater competition during the SuperSkills events of 1998 and 2004.

Hockey Hall of Fame

Multiple individuals associated with the Devils franchise have earned induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame. The first former Devil to be inducted was Peter Šťastný in 1998, who accumulated 173 points over 217 games during his four seasons with the team. His teammate, Russian defenseman and assistant coach from 1999 to 2002, Viacheslav Fetisov, was inducted in 2001. The long-serving captain Scott Stevens, honored in 2007, represents the first player primarily linked to the Devils to receive this recognition. Igor Larionov, who concluded his playing career with the Devils in the 2003–04 season, was inducted in 2008. Coaches Jacques Lemaire (inducted in 1984) and Larry Robinson (1995) were recognized for their playing careers prior to their coaching roles.

In the realm of management, former coach Herb Brooks, famed for guiding the U.S. "Miracle on Ice" squad during the 1980 Winter Olympics and serving as Devils coach in the 1992–93 season, was inducted as a Builder in 2006. General manager Lou Lamoriello, credited with spearheading the franchise's achievements since his arrival in 1987, was inducted in 2009.
