Rangers AHL Pack head coach will coach the All Star Game

Kris Knoblauch has been tapped to coach the AHL All Star Game. The first year Wolf Pack head coach has earned the honor by leasing his charges to the top of the Atlantic division.

Knoblauch has turned the Pack around quickly and it bodes well for the rebuilding Rangers as well.
