Shortly after resigning as president of hockey operations for the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday, John Davidson was named president of the Rangers.
“I am excited and humbled to be named the President of the New York Rangers,” said Davidson, a former goaltender and TV analyst for the team, in a news release. “The opportunity of rejoining the Rangers organization and returning home to New York, where my family and I have spent so many wonderful years, was one I simply could not pass up. I want to thank James Dolan for offering me this chance to come home.
