After a disappointing season, New York Rangers announced on Saturday that they had made a decision to separate the roads with the main coach, Peter Laviolette, only two seasons. The assistant coach Phil Hosley was comfortable with his duties, according to the team.
Rangers was 39-36-7 this season and missed the qualifiers a year after they won the President’s Cup and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Laviolet, 60, set a record 94-59-11 in his seasons on his head in New York. Rangers had the best regular season in the history of his concession in the 2023-2024 season, when he scored 114 points and 55 points.
“Today I reported Peter Laviolette and Hosley’s elephant that we are making a change in training,” the director of the Rangers player Chris Drauri said in a statement. “I would like to thank them both and I wish them and their families the best to go forward. Peter is the first degree along the way, professionally and personally, and I am really grateful for his passion and dedication in Rangers in his time as a head coach.”
“After completing the best record in the normal season in the NHL year ago and a trip to the Eastern Conference Final, we reached this season with great expectations for ourselves. Simply, we failed to meet these expectations.

“While we head to the next season and beyond, I felt that the change was necessary in order to give us the best opportunity to achieve our goals as an institution. Our search for a new coach will begin immediately.”
Rangers was the sixth team Laviolette was a key coach throughout his career. He trained Nashville Praidators, Carolina Hurricane, Philadelphia Flamers, Washington Capital, residents of New York Island before joining Rangers.
Upon their arrival in the season, Rangers had high expectations after being shortened in the eastern conference against Florida Panthers last season. But Rangers marred them inappropriate play and a weak performance from many of their best players.
