The '''Philadelphia Ramblers''' were a [[Minor league|minor]] professional [[ice hockey]] team based in the [[Philadelphia Arena]] in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]]. The Ramblers played for six seasons during the infancy of the [[American Hockey League]] from 1935 to 1941.
 
==History==
The Ramblers were formerly known as the [[Philadelphia Arrows]] from 1927 to 1935 and played in the [[Canadian-American Hockey League]]. The team changed named to the Ramblers for the 1935–36 season. The Canadian American Hockey League merged into the International-American Hockey League in 1936, where the Ramblers competed for another four seasons, before that league became known as the modern-day [[American Hockey League]].
 
From 1935 through 1941, the team was the primary minor league affiliate of the [[New York Rangers]] and many future and aging Ranger stars (played for the Ramblers, such as [[Bert1936–37 GardinerAHL season|1936–37]] andRambler [[LarryBryan MolyneuxHextall]]), playeda forfuture thefour-time Ramblers.[[NHL TheAll-Star Rangersteam|NHL endedAll-Star]] thewho agreement afterscored the 1940–41 season.
