Benoît Allaire, a longtime goalie coach for the New York Rangers, is retiring after decades with the organization, multiple outlets report. The Athletic, citing comments from Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury, says Allaire’s contributions over the past two decades are “immeasurable.” New York Post reports that Allaire has already scaled back his responsibilities about two years earlier, suggesting a gradual transition rather than an abrupt change. The announcement comes as the Rangers continue their offseason roster process, with The Athletic indicating the timing of the retirement in relation to the league’s draft and free agency period. While outlets emphasize Allaire’s long-term role in developing Rangers goaltenders and supporting the team’s coaching staff, they do not outline specific details about the process for replacing him or about his immediate plans after retirement. Both accounts characterize the move as the end of a long tenure with the Rangers.
