I think my days playing professionally are over, Devils superstar announce retirement……
Chico Resch Belongs in the New Jersey Devils’ Ring of Honor
The New Jersey Devils have just two names in their Ring of Honor: Dr. John McMullen and the recently inducted Sergei Brylin. The iconic Glenn “Chico” Resch must be next.
After only having one member in the New Jersey Devils’ Ring of Honor for nearly a decade, the number of members doubled during last season when the franchise inducted former player and current assistant coach Sergei Brylin to join the original member of the RoH – Dr. John McMullen. Whaddya say we keep that momentum going in the upcoming season and make this an annual thing, Devils? If, in some alternate universe (yes, there is a multiverse!), the team asked me who my choice would be, there would be no hesitation for me – despite the oodles of worthy candidates.

The Ring of Honor is for those who had an immense impact on the franchise, or maybe a way of honoring those members without requiring a number being raised to the rafters. Resch was the first-ever goaltender for the New Jersey Devils following their relocation from Colorado, andΞ while he didn’t win many games over his four seasons in New Jersey (198 games total), he was a good soldier and always competed his heart out, which endeared him to fans.
