James Dolan Transfers Rangers Ownership Roles To Quentin Dolan James Dolan, executive chairman and CEO of MSG Sports, has transferred day-to-day ownership responsibilities for the New York Rangers to his son Quentin Dolan, according to a report by Mollie Walker of the New York Post. The move marks a significant shift in the team’s leadership structure, with James Dolan retaining the titles of Rangers president, chief operating officer, and alternate governor. Quentin Dolan, 32, will now oversee the team’s operations, though the transition is expected to have minimal impact on the current hockey operations staff, including general manager Chris Drury. Dolan’s promotion to the Rangers’ executive roles follows his tenure as a special advisor to the executive chairman at MSG Sports since February 2023. Prior to that, he held various positions within the company since 2015. In a statement accompanying the announcement, James Dolan emphasized his deep respect for the Rangers organization, stating, “I’ve always had a tremendous respect and admiration for the New York Rangers organization, it’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m honored to have this opportunity to ensure our hockey operations staff, coaches, and players have all the support they need to provide our fans a product they can be proud of.” Quentin Dolan’s new role is highlighted by his previous contributions to the Rangers and Knicks organizations. In a separate statement, James Dolan praised Quentin’s impact, noting, “Since his arrival overseeing our Player Performance and Science department, Quentin has made a strong impact on the Rangers and Knicks organizations, and we are pleased that he will step into this elevated position.#new_york_rangers #chris_drury #james_dolan #quentin_dolan #msg_sports
Exclusive | James Dolan Hands Control of Rangers to Son Quentin Dolan James Dolan, the executive chairman and CEO of Madison Square Garden Sports Corp., has initiated a significant shift in the leadership of the New York Rangers, transferring day-to-day ownership responsibilities to his son Quentin. This move marks the first time since Dolan took control of both the Knicks and Rangers 27 years ago that he is stepping back from direct involvement with one of his teams. Quentin Dolan, 32, will assume the titles of Rangers president, chief operating officer, and alternate governor, effectively becoming the primary decision-maker for the franchise. The transition is part of a broader plan to pass the torch to his children, a goal Dolan has long expressed. Under the new structure, Chris Drury, the Rangers’ president and general manager, will now report to Quentin instead of Dolan. While Drury’s role in hockey operations remains unchanged, the hierarchical shift signals a new era for the team. Quentin emphasized that his focus is on proving himself through results, stating, “I think it’s something I’ve been building towards, and I’ll be working my hardest and probably proving to myself for a while that I’m ready.” Quentin’s promotion comes after years of growing involvement in the organization. He previously served as senior vice president of player performance and science for both the Rangers and Knicks, overseeing medical, strength and conditioning, nutrition, mental performance, and performance data operations. His background in sports performance and biotech research has helped shape the team’s infrastructure.#new_york_rangers #chris_drury #james_dolan #quentin_dolan #madison_square_garden_sports_corp

Hudson River Rivalry Kicks Off with Devils vs. Rangers Clash The New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers will finally meet for the first time this season in the opening game of the Hudson River Rivalry on Saturday, March 7, 2026. The matchup, set for 3:08 p.m. ET at Prudential Center, marks the first of three scheduled encounters between the teams over the next three-plus weeks. The Devils, with a record of 31-29-2, host the Rangers, who sit at 24-29-8, in a contest that promises high intensity and competitive energy. Head coach Sheldon Keefe emphasized that the Devils will stick with their current lineup, with Jacob Markstrom starting in net. Keefe made adjustments to the forward lines, moving Jesper Bratt to a trio with Lenni Hameenaho and Cody Glass. The coach explained that Bratt’s performance had been affected by overthinking, particularly when paired with Jack Hughes, who often took the lead. By placing Bratt with Glass and Hameenaho, Keefe aims to let Bratt focus on his game, attack the net more, and increase his shot attempts. The Devils, riding a three-game winning streak, are looking to build momentum as they approach the end of the regular season. While they remain outside the playoff picture, the recent success has kept their hopes alive. Keefe praised the team’s mindset since returning from the holiday break, noting that the players have been disciplined and focused. The rivalry with the Rangers, however, adds a unique challenge. Keefe acknowledged the unusual timing of the matchup, as the Devils have yet to face their fiercest rival this season. He expressed optimism that the series could keep the team motivated and fresh. The Rangers, under first-year coach Mike Sullivan, are in a “retool” phase as general manager Chris Drury aims to rebuild the roster.#new_york_rangers #new_jersey_devils #sheldon_keefe #chris_drury #hudson_river_rivalry
