INCREDIBLE! David Quinn Returns to New York Rangers as Assistant Head Coach
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the hockey world, the New York Rangers have officially welcomed back former head coach David Quinn — this time as the team’s Assistant Head Coach. The surprising return marks a full-circle moment for Quinn, who previously served as the Rangers’ head coach from 2018 to 2021 before parting ways with the organization.
Quinn’s return comes at a pivotal time for the Rangers, who are looking to regroup after a season that fell short of expectations. Known for his sharp hockey mind, strong player development skills, and ability to motivate young talent, Quinn’s presence on the bench could be the spark the team needs heading into the new campaign.
During his first stint in New York, Quinn compiled a respectable record, guiding the Rangers through a challenging rebuild phase. While his tenure didn’t produce a Stanley Cup, his influence in shaping the foundation of the current roster is undeniable — especially in the growth of players like Adam Fox, Kaapo Kakko, and Alexis Lafrenière.
Fans have taken to social media with mixed reactions — some celebrating the reunion, others questioning whether revisiting the past is the right approach. Regardless, one thing is certain: Quinn’s return adds a fascinating storyline to the upcoming season.
With training camp approaching, all eyes will be on how Quinn meshes with the coaching staff and helps elevate the Rangers’ game. Could his second stint in New York lead to the success that eluded him the first time? Rangers fans are eager to find out.
