The Rangers didn’t wait for their annual Palm Springs Summit to start making moves this offseason.
With the organizational meeting, usually set at president Glen Sather’s western hub of operations, coming up soon, the franchise fired Ken Gernander as the coach of AHL Hartford after the Wolf Pack’s last-place finish this past season. It was Gernander’s 10th season behind the bench after eight as a player and captain and two as an assistant coach.
“We want to thank Ken for his service and all of his contributions to the Wolf Pack and the Rangers organization,” general manager Jeff Gorton said in a statement.
