The Rangers announced two big moves today for the Hartford Wolf Pack, their AHL affiliate. Head Coach Ken Gernander has been fired, while Rangers’ Assistant General Manager Chris Drury takes over for Jim Schoenfeld as Hartford’s General Manager; Schoenfeld retains his own AGM duties with the Rangers. Hartford is coming off their second-straight season of missing the playoffs, and in 2016-2017 they were the worst team in the AHL. As such, a facelift is unsurprising.
Schoenfeld had been Hartford’s GM for the previous 14 seasons, so his departure is not to be taken lightly.
