New York Rangers Appoint Ryane Clowe Assistant GM, Promote Martin Sullivan

The New York Rangers have made significant updates to their front office for the 2025-26 season, notably hiring Blake Wheeler as hockey operations advisor and Ryane Clowe as assistant general manager. Clowe, who resigned from the same role with the San Jose Sharks, returns to the Rangers after previously serving in their hockey operations department from 2021 to 2024. Wheeler, who retired in July 2024 after a 16-year NHL career including a final season with the Rangers, begins his front office career with the team. Alongside these hires, the Rangers promoted Ryan Martin to associate general manager and Jim Sullivan to assistant general manager, both of whom have longstanding ties to the organization. The Rangers have also bolstered their scouting department with new hires, aiming to build on their recent success, which included setting franchise records and winning the Presidents’ Trophy in the 2023-24 season. These front office changes reflect the Rangers' commitment to strengthening their management and operational depth under general manager Chris Drury.
