“Today is the start of a new and exciting chapter in New York Rangers history,” Madison Square Garden Company CEO James Dolan said. “John Davidson is one of the premier executives in the National Hockey League. A goalie, Davidson played 222 games over eight seasons for the Rangers, then spent 19 years as a color commentator for the Rangers and national networks before becoming the president of the St. Louis Blues in 2006. He joined Columbus in 2012.
“When we hired John Davidson in October 2012, I said I thought he was the perfect person to lead our hockey operations efforts,” Blue Jackets owner John P. McConnell said. “Nearly seven years later I believe I was right. He joined our team at a very difficult time and led a transformation that has resulted in consistent winning and appearances in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.”
