New York Rangers general manager Chris Drury has made a few noteworthy changes to the team’s hockey operations.
Resident goaltending guru Benoît Allaire has been promoted to Director of New York Rangers Goaltending. In this new role, Allaire will oversee the development of all goaltenders in the Rangers’ organization — in the NHL, AHL, and ECHL — in addition to remaining the goaltending coach in New York.
Allaire has been the Rangers’ goaltending coach since the 2004-05 season. Before joining the Blueshirts, he was the Coyoyes’ coach for seven years. He also was the goalie coach of the Montreal Canadiens for the 1996-97 season.
