What happened on July 12 in the history of the New York Rangers
On this date in 2000, the New York Rangers hired a new coach, Ron Low, former head coach of the Edmonton Oilers. He was the first coach hired by Glen Sather who had taken over as general manager of the Rangers at the end of the regular season.
Low had been head coach of the Oilers under Sather but quite in a salary dispute, so this was a reunion of sorts.
