NEW YORK RANGERS 2011-2012 STAFF

GLEN SATHER

President and General Manager

With a strong mix of experienced veterans and promising home-grown youth on the roster, Rangers President and General

Manager Glen Sather continues to illustrate why he is one of the great architects in the history of hockey management. With 34 years

of hockey experience on his Hall of Fame resume, which includes five Stanley Cup Championships, he is the league’s longest tenured

general manager, serving the past 11 seasons with New York and prior to that, 21 years in Edmonton.

With a developing core of homegrown players, Sather has laid the foundation for long-term success by stockpiling talented

prospects and adding significant pieces via trades while adding key free agents to that mix. Over the last six seasons, the Blueshirts have

totaled 253 wins and a .575 winning percentage, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference. The Rangers have posted 40 or more wins in

five of the last six seasons, including four consecutive seasons from 2005-06 to 2008-09, marking only the second time in franchise

history the team has accomplished both feats (1968-69 – 1973-74 and 1970-71 – 1973-74, respectively). The Blueshirts are also one of

seven Eastern Conference teams to have registered at least five seasons of 40+ wins since 2005-06, and one of five Eastern Conference

teams to advance to the playoffs in five of the six seasons (no team has advanced to the Playoffs in all six seasons).

Sather became New York’s 12th President and 10th General Manager on June 1, 2000. He also served as head coach from January

30, 2003 to February 25, 2004. Sather led the Edmonton Oilers’ to five Stanley Cup Championships between 1984 – 1990, overseeing

the development of a revolutionary team concept as well as some of the finest individual talents ever to play the game. Sather’s

achievements were recognized and honored on September 9, 1997 when he became the first member of the Edmonton Oilers

organization to be selected to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

During his tenure with the Oilers, the club posted a 791-660-215 record in 1,666 regular season games (.539 winning percentage),

capturing three President’s Trophies, six division titles and six conference championships. In Stanley Cup playoff action, Sather’s teams

compiled a 133-82 record in 215 games (.619 winning percentage), leading to the club’s five Stanley Cup titles.

Upon his retirement as a player following the 1976-77 season, Sather immediately joined the coaching ranks, guiding the

Edmonton Oilers to 12 straight WHA and NHL playoff appearances, four Stanley Cup Championships and five Stanley Cup Finals

appearances between 1977 and 1989. Sather added the title of General Manager on June 15, 1979, and was named the team’s

President prior to the 1982-83 season.

Before embarking on his executive career, Sather put together one of the most impressive coaching records in NHL history. He has

served as a Head Coach in 932 NHL regular season games, compiling a record of 497-307-128 (.602 winning percentage), ranking 16th

on the NHL’s all-time coaching list with 497 victories. In 127 Stanley Cup playoff games, Sather posted a record of 89-37-1, ranking sixth

on the all-time list for playoff wins with 89 and first all-time with a .705 playoff winning percentage. He received the Jack Adams Trophy

as the NHL’s Coach of the Year in 1985-86 and is one of only six coaches to coach in five or more NHL All-Star Games.

Sather’s knowledge of the game, tactical negotiating strategies, strong developmental skills and keen ability to get the best out of

his players are keys to his managerial success. During his administration in Edmonton, Sather developed a dynasty by nurturing talented

draft picks Mark Messier, Kevin Lowe, Jari Kurri, Grant Fuhr, Paul Coffey, EsaTikkanen and Glenn Anderson, along with the acquisition of

a rising star named Wayne Gretzky.

Sather’s management experience and success also carries over to the international arena. He served as Team Canada’s General

Manager and Coach for the 1996 World Cup of Hockey. He also guided Team Canada’s 1994 Canada Cup Championship and was the

General Manager of the gold medal-winning team in the 1994 World Hockey Championships.

A native of High River, Alberta, Sather enjoyed a successful junior career with the Edmonton Oil Kings. Following the completion of

his amateur days, he became property of the Detroit Red Wings but would never wear a Winged Wheel jersey. After a season with the

Central League’s Memphis Wings, Sather was drafted away from the Red Wings by the Boston Bruins in 1965, and would make his

National Hockey League debut with the Bruins in the 1966-67 season. Sather would go on to play 10 seasons in the National Hockey

League for the Boston Bruins, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers, St. Louis Blues, Montreal Canadiens and Minnesota North Stars.

In 658 NHL regular season games, the feisty winger registered 80 goals and 113 assists for 193 points, along with 724 penalty minutes.

As a member of the New York Rangers from 1970 through 1974, Sather appeared in 188 regular season games, recording 18 goals

and 24 assists for 42 points, along with 193 penalty minutes. In addition, he was a member of the 1971-72 Rangers club which advanced

to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Sather and his wife, Ann, have two sons, Justin and Shanon.

until General Manager Scotty Bowman resumed his coaching career on January 15th. He also served as head coach of Buffalo’s top

American Hockey League affiliate, the Rochester Americans, for a portion of the 1984-85 season. Schoenfeld’s stint behind the

Americans’ bench ended when he came out of retirement and rejoined the Sabres’ active lineup on December 19, 1984.

on July 15, 2004. Under the direction of Allaire, Rangers’ standout HenrikLundqvist has achieved considerable success, becoming the

first goalie in NHL history to record 30-or-more wins in each of his first six seasons and was a finalist for the Vezina Trophy in each of his

first three seasons. In 2005-06, with Allaire, Lundqvist enjoyed a breakout rookie season and was among the league leaders in several

categories for goaltenders en route to being selected to the NHL’s All-Rookie Team. Under Allaire’s guidance, Lundqvist established

career-highs in 2010-11 with a league-leading, 11 shutouts and a .923 save percentage.

Prior to coming to New York, Allaire spent seven seasons as the goaltending coach for the Phoenix Coyotes. He also served as the

goaltending instructor for the Montreal Canadiens for one season in 1997.

Allaire was the first to implement the hybrid style of goaltending, a combination of stand-up and butterfly, relying on quickness and

reaction to the puck, while utilizing butterfly technique in certain situations. Under the direction of Allaire, the Coyotes goaltenders

enjoyed tremendous improvement and success. Before joining the Coyotes organization in 1999, Sean Burke appeared in 536 NHL

matches and posted a 3.21 goals against average and .895 save percentage and 19 shutouts. While with Allaire, Burke’s play improved

enormously, appearing in 211 matches with Phoenix and recording a 2.39 goals against average, a .919 save percentage and 15

shutouts. He was also nominated for both the Vezina and Lester B. Pearson Trophies following the 2001-02 season and appeared in the

streak from December 22, 2003 to January 11, 2004, going 332:01 without allowing a goal and recording five shutouts.

1996-97). Over his two seasons with Allaire (1997-98, 1998-99), Khabibulin twice participated in the NHL All-Star Game and shaved

more than half a goal off his goals against average. In 133 games under Allaire, he registered a 2.45 goals against average and a .911

save percentage and 12 shutouts.

A native of St. Janvier, Quebec, Allaire served as a goaltending instructor for six seasons (1989-95) in the Quebec Major Junior

Hockey League (QMJHL) with three different teams: Laval, Verdun and Granby. During his stay in the QMJHL, the goaltenders under

Allaire’s supervision won two President’s Cups (QMJHL’s championship) and played in two Memorial Cup Tournaments (Canadian

Hockey League championship). Over the course of his career, Allaire has helped develop some of the game’s best goaltenders including
