It's July 22nd. New York Rangers News Today starts now. AI powered and ready for kickoff.
So, Jonathan Quick, the goalie who won 2 Cups with the Kings, and even snagged a Conn Smythe, has officially hung up his skates. He wrapped up his career with his hometown team, the New York Rangers, and now he's staying put. But in a different capacity. The Rangers are bringing him into the front office as a Director of Goaltending Development. He'll be working within the Player Development Staff, reporting to Tanner Glass.
It's a pretty interesting move, especially considering his legendary status in Los Angeles. While his time with the Kings is what most people remember, ending his playing days with the Rangers still means something. This isn't the only former player the Rangers are bringing back. Derick Brassard, another familiar face, is also joining the Player Development team as an assistant. Both Quick and Brassard will be under Tanner Glass, who is also a former Ranger, and the whole hockey operations are overseen by General Manager Chris.
Drury, another ex-Ranger, it's a trend we're seeing across the league, with some teams finding success by bringing back alumni into management roles while others have had less. Fortunate Experiences The Rangers are clearly leaning into that strategy, and it'll be interesting to see how it plays out for them. Quick's experience, especially his rapport with current goalie Igor Shesterkin, should be a huge asset in developing the next generation of netminders. For the teen, it's a new chapter for him, moving from the crease to the boardroom, so to speak.
