BY: Alain Vigneault, Via New York Rangers
NEW YORK, April 8, 2018 – The following is a statement from Alain Vigneault:
“I would like to thank the New York Rangers management – Mr. James Dolan, Glen Sather and Jeff Gorton – for allowing me the privilege to coach the Rangers. I spent five wonderful years in New York and I want to express my gratitude to all the coaches, players and staff that I worked with during that period of my life. The Rangers have an incredible fan base and I will cherish many special moments, especially our trip to the Stanley Cup Finals. The Rangers are going in a different direction, I respect that and I wish them all the best. Thus far in my coaching career, I am very grateful that I have had the privilege to work with three great organizations – Vancouver, and two Original Six teams with New York and Montreal. I have great respect for everyone in the media but for now please understand that I don’t intend to comment any further, as I will regroup with my family. Thank you, everyone, for a great ride and life-lasting memories.”
