Overview
- The New York Rangers have hired recently retired goaltender Jonathan Quick for a front-office role titled Director of Goaltending Development, a move reported by multiple outlets on July 21, 2026.
- Quick announced his retirement after the 2025–26 season following a 19-year NHL career that included two Stanley Cups and a Conn Smythe award.
- Rangers reporting says the organization had interest in Quick before the season ended but took time to define the specifics of the position before making the hire public.
- On the ice for 2026–27 Igor Shesterkin remains the club’s starter with Joonas Korpisalo projected as the on-ice backup while veterans Spencer Martin and prospect Callum Tung provide additional depth.
- Though Quick has no prior coaching or front-office track record, the Rangers expect his extensive playoff experience and career resume to help develop goaltending prospects and smooth succession planning behind Shesterkin.
