John Davidson named next Rangers president
John Davidson, who has resigned as president of hockey operations for the Columbus Blue Jackets, has been named the next president of the New York Rangers, the team announced Friday.
He replaces Glen Sather, who stepped down in April after serving as team president since 2000.
Davidson's roots run deep with the Rangers. The former goalie played 222 games with the franchise from 1975 to 1983 before retiring due to injury. He became a popular color commentator for the team from 1986 through 2006, parlaying that success to a national gig as a color commentator for Fox Sports and NBC alongside Doc Emrick.
