off season
In a little sudden movementthe Rangers fired Jim Ramsey, their head athletic trainer since 1994. Ramsey has been a fixture on the Rangers team and draws some of the biggest ovations during opening night.
hear that #NYR Let Jim Ramsey go. Team athletic trainer since 1994, he has served at several Olympic Games as head coach for Team Canada.

Again this is a surprising move. However, it should be noted that Ramsey removed the titles of Director of Conditioning and Director of Sports Medicine from his responsibilities for this season. He had held those titles as well as head athletic coach.
There are some rumblings about the mishandling of Ryan Lindgren’s injury late in the season, but it doesn’t really make sense. The decision to put him on LTIR fell to Chris Drury and Gerard Gallant, not Ramsey. Part of it may have been misdiagnosing him, but Ramsay wouldn’t be the one diagnosing it. A team of doctors.
Surprising nonetheless.
