NEW YORK -- Jim Schoenfeld has resigned as vice president and assistant general manager of the New York Rangers, the team announced Thursday.
The former NHL defenseman and coach spent 17 seasons in the Rangers' organization, serving in a variety of roles. He spent most of that time as general manager of the AHL's Hartford franchise, which he also coached for two seasons.
Among the standout players Schoenfeld helped develop for the Rangers are Ryan McDonagh, Mats Zuccarello and Ryan Callahan.
"In nearly two decades with the Rangers, Jim made an impact on every level of the organization," Rangers president Glen Sather said Thursday.
