Their name was changed to the Minnesota Rangers in 1965 after the neighboring city of Minneapolis lost its Central League team. The Rangers, though, continued to play in St. Paul. In 1966 the Rangers moved their farm team to Omaha, Nebraska in anticipation of the debut of the NHL's Minnesota North Stars in 1967.

The Rangers won the Adams Cup in 1964-65.
