Rangers Hire Jonathan Quick as Director of Goaltending Development

The New York Rangers have hired Jonathan Quick as their director of goaltending development, according to nypost.com. Quick, 40, retired at the end of the 2025-26 season after spending his final three years with the Rangers.

Quick will report directly to director of player development Tanner Glass and work alongside goaltending coach Jeff Malcolm. The role puts him in charge of overseeing the organization's goaltending prospects, including top prospect Dylan Garand. He'll also work closely with Igor Shesterkin, his former backup partner, and veteran Joonas Korpisalo.

A Connecticut native who grew up rooting for the Rangers, Quick signed with New York as a free agent in July 2023. He posted a 35-30-6 record over 76 games in three seasons with the club, helping the Rangers win the Presidents' Trophy in 2023-24.

Quick's 19-year playing career included 829 NHL games split between the Los Angeles Kings, Vegas Golden Knights, and Rangers. He won three Stanley Cups, two with Los Angeles (2012 and 2014) and one with Vegas (2023), and claimed the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2012. His career numbers include a 410-307-90 record, 2.51 goals-against average, .910 save percentage, and 65 shutouts. He won the Jennings Trophy twice and remains the winningest U.S.-born goaltender in NHL history.

Quick joins the goaltending staff following the retirement of longtime director of goaltending Benoit Allaire, who stepped away this offseason after 22 seasons with the organization. Allaire had transitioned from full-time goalie coach to director of goaltending in 2024, with Malcolm taking over the day-to-day coaching duties.

The Rangers made it a priority to keep Quick in the organization following his retirement, according to nypost.com. The team also hired former Rangers forward Derick Brassard as a player development assistant, theathletic.com reported.
