New York Golden Blades

The New York Raiders were a professional ice hockey team in New York City. They competed in the World Hockey Association (WHA) as a member of the Eastern Division (1972–1974). They played at Madison Square Garden in New York from 1972 to 1973 and Cherry Hill Arena in New Jersey from 1973 to 1974. The organization was established in 1971 as a charter franchise of the World Hockey Association (WHA).

Intended to be the WHA's flagship franchise, the team was unable to compete with the National Hockey League's established New York Rangers, and expansion New York Islanders. During its inaugural season, the WHA had to take over ownership of the team. A third owner took over and renamed the franchise the New York Golden Blades to start the second season, but remained in financial distress and moved to the Greater Philadelphia metropolitan area township of Cherry Hill, New Jersey, on November 21, 1973, becoming the Jersey Knights, its third name and second home, under three different ownership arrangements, in less than two full seasons of operation.
