Phil Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 According to a report on the Bordeaux Boxers? (French Ligue Magnus) website, Tanner Glass has retired from playing professional hockey and is taking a role in the New York Rangers? front office. Via Google Translate: At age 35, he focused on his post-career career, where he was offered a position by the New York Rangers to accompany and develop the newly recruited recruits to the Draft and he will follow them until their the prestigious NHL! He will continue to travel the world to watch over his young prospects, and who knows, maybe he will stop by Bordeaux during a future trip to Europe? The translation doesn?t make it exactly clear what Glass could be doing, but it sounds exactly like or similar to the job Jed Ortmeyer has been doing as Director of Player Development. https://www.blueshirtbanter.com/2019/6/13/18677920/report-tanner-glass-joining-new-york-rangers-front-office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Head Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Nice hire. Works to be surprised to see a mind like his go far in this league Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Having guys like Ortmeyer and Glass working in the organization is a good thing. These are guys who were never skilled players, but they battled and worked for every minute of NHL hockey they ever got. There's a lot of lessons there that young players coming into the organization can learn from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Sounds like he's one of those guys JD was looking to hire. A coach that follows the Rangers draftee from draft day until he comes to US to wear a Ranger sweater. I think it's a great hire. Thoughts and Prayers to AV in Philly though... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Good hire. Dartmouth grad. Not a dummy. Grinders/fighters are usually the smartest guys. That?s how they got to that level with inferior skillsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR2711 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 These grinders/4th liners make some great coaches, I don’t mind this hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Grinders/fighters are usually the smartest guys. That’s how they got to that level with inferior skillsets. Fantastic person, too. In any role where he's going to be interacting with young, impressionable minds, I can think of much worse options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 From what I remember, he was always a good interview and very well spoken....pretty down to earth dude: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Swear to God he's related to Dolan or someone. He's going to work his way onto the ice in the final minutes of a big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 All the posters that vilified T.G. and the fans that admired his play, are now jumping on the moving bandwagon praising his attributes. Glass is class !! GO RANGERS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Let's be clear. He wasn't good at hockey. Luckily that doesn't have much to do with this job appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Everyone has their own opinion 31. The NYR sorely lack what he brought on every shift, imho. GO RANGERS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 He was fine as the 13th forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetchy2 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 If Craig Berube can win a Stanley Cup coaching the Blues, then I have no problem with giving Glass a position in the organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Head Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I?ll mention it this way. I can?t think of many former rangers who are better suited to move into the front office. Drury was the last to come to mind. - class act - high hockey IQ (you don?t Stick in this league with his skill set without that ) - great work ethic - articulate And i can?t remember any former rangers with his level of education Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersIn7 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 He?s a solid hire. Forget about his play which while did bring some quality elements at times, often left a lot to be desired. He always worked hard. Very well liked by his teammates. Respected in the locker room and around the league. And by all accounts a very intelligent guy. Dartmouth grad and I believe he was their captain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
