15 Aug
Summary
- Rangers hire ex-goalie Jonathan Quick as Director of Goaltending.
- Team adds Brassard, Staal for player development roles.
- Emphasis on sports performance follows consecutive playoff misses.
The New York Rangers have announced substantial changes to their front office and staff, with a pronounced emphasis on sports performance and player development. These adjustments come after the team missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.
Former NHL player Jonathan Quick has been hired as the Director of Goaltending Development, returning to the organization after retiring as the NHL's all-time winningest American goalie. Additionally, ex-Rangers Derick Brassard and Marc Staal have joined as Player Development Assistants. The team has also bolstered its sports science and strength and conditioning departments with new hires.
These changes reflect a strategic effort to enhance player health and performance, particularly after several key players, including Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin, missed significant time due to injuries in the 2025-26 season. The Rangers are set to open their 2026-27 season on September 29th against the Boston Bruins.
