Today the New York Rangers announced the addition of Steve Konowalchuk as a scout for the organization. Konowalchuk was on the coaching staff of the Anaheim Ducks last season, and appeared nearly 800 games with the Washington Capitals and the Colorado Avalanche during his playing career.
His primary focus will be scouting the WHL, where he was recently the head coach of the Seattle Thunderbirds. Konowalchuk held that position for six seasons before making the jump to coach at the NHL level with the Ducks. He is one of 19 scouts currently listed on the Rangers’ site.
