Overview
- MSG Sports says Quentin Dolan will assume the titles of New York Rangers president, chief operating officer and alternate governor and take day-to-day control of the franchise.
- Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury will report to Quentin Dolan but will continue to lead all hockey operations and roster decisions.
- Quentin Dolan previously ran player performance and science for the Rangers and Knicks and has served on the MSG Sports board, a background the company cites as preparation for the new role.
- The change follows two seasons outside the playoffs and a public retooling plan under Drury, placing new business oversight over a team under pressure to return to contention.
- James Dolan retains his executive role with the Knicks, and the shift could sharpen organizational oversight while leaving day-to-day hockey strategy in the hands of the front office and Drury.
