Ryan Martin Promoted to Associate General Manager While Continuing as Hartford Wolf Pack GM
The New York Rangers have announced that Ryan Martin has been promoted to Associate General Manager, while continuing his current role as General Manager of the Hartford Wolf Pack, the team’s American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate. The move reflects the organization’s confidence in Martin’s leadership and his track record of developing talent within the Rangers’ system.
Since joining the organization in 2021, Martin has been instrumental in building a competitive Wolf Pack roster that balances player development with winning hockey. Under his guidance, Hartford has become a crucial pipeline for the Rangers, producing young players who have successfully transitioned to the NHL stage. His ability to identify, develop, and manage talent has made him an invaluable figure in shaping the future of the franchise.
In his expanded role as Associate General Manager, Martin will work even more closely with Rangers management on roster construction, salary cap strategy, and player transactions. His experience and eye for detail will provide essential support for General Manager Chris Drury as the Rangers continue to pursue championship aspirations.
Martin’s background includes a decade of front-office experience with the Detroit Red Wings, where he contributed to both NHL roster building and minor league development. That experience has carried over seamlessly to New York, where he has helped strengthen the team’s prospect pipeline while maintaining Hartford as a competitive AHL club.
This promotion underscores the Rangers’ commitment to stability and development within the organization. By entrusting Martin with greater responsibilities while retaining his influence in Hartford, the franchise is ensuring continuity across all levels of its hockey operations. For Rangers fans, it’s a sign that the future of both the NHL roster and the Wolf Pack remains in steady and capable hands.
