New York Rangers General Manager Jeff Gorton announced on Tuesday that David Oliver and Greg Brown were named assistant coaches, joining Lindy Ruff on new head coach David Quinn's coaching staff.

Oliver, 47, joins the Rangers organization after spending the past 11 seasons with the Colorado Avalanche organization (2007-08 - 2017-18). Oliver most recently served as Colorado's Director of Player Development, a role which he held for the last four seasons (2014-15 - 2017-18) as well as for two seasons in 2009-10 and 2010-11. During his tenure, he also served in a variety of roles for the Avalanche organization, including General Manager of the Lake Erie Monsters, Colorado's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, for three seasons (2007-08 - 2009-10), an Assistant Coach with Lake Erie for two seasons (2011-12 and 2012-13), and the Director of Hockey Operations with Lake Erie for four seasons (2010-11 - 2013-14).

Oliver served as Lake Erie's General Manager when the team hired current Rangers Head Coach David Quinn to be the Monsters' Head Coach prior to the 2009-10 season, and Oliver also served as an Assistant Coach on Quinn's staff in Lake Erie during the 2011-12 season.

Brown, 50, joins the Rangers organization after spending the past 14 seasons as a member of the coaching staff at Boston College (2004-05 - 2017-18), including the last six seasons as the team's Associate Head Coach (2012-13 - 2017-18). In his role at Boston College, Brown was responsible for overseeing the team's defencemen, and he also worked with the team's special teams units. During his tenure at the school, Boston College won the NCAA National Championship three times (2007-08, 2009-10, and 2011-12).
