It’s a fresh day, and it seems like it’s going to be a brighter one for the New York Rangers. After a tough 2024-25 season where they ended up with a record of 36-39-7 over 82 games, they’ve brought Mike Sullivan on board as their new head coach. Absolutely, that’s the same person who spent so many years with the Pittsburgh Penguins and guided them to two Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017. Looks like there’s a lot of hope for the Rangers, huh?
On X, the New York Rangers’ official profile shared this news, stating, “The 38th Head Coach in NYR history. Welcome (back) to Broadway, Sully!” Looks like this really changes things for the team’s leadership. So, some fans might be curious about why the Rangers are bringing him back. Here’s some background for you.
Mike Sullivan was an assistant coach for the Rangers from 2009 to 2013, working alongside head coach John Tortorella. While he was with the team, he played a key role in their growth and helped them make it to the playoffs, even reaching the Eastern Conference Final in 2012. He has quite a history, if you ask me. He got hired right after the Rangers decided to move on from Peter Laviolette last month.
So, it looks like Sullivan has a pretty big job ahead of him—getting the Rangers back to the top again! Do you think he can pull it off? We’ll just have to wait and see, but his career really is something to admire.
