New York Rangers Official Statement: Chris Kreider Announces Retirement from the NHL
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York, NY — The New York Rangers have released the following statement regarding forward Chris Kreider:
After 13 incredible seasons, forward Chris Kreider has officially announced his retirement from professional hockey. Kreider, 34, spent his entire NHL career with the New York Rangers, becoming one of the most beloved and respected figures in the franchise’s storied history.
“On behalf of the entire organization, we want to congratulate Chris on an outstanding career and thank him for his unwavering commitment to the Rangers,” said Rangers President and General Manager Chris Drury. “Chris was the epitome of what it means to be a Ranger — a powerful presence on the ice, a leader in the locker room, and a tireless contributor to our community.”
Kreider was selected 19th overall by the Rangers in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. He made his debut during the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs, immediately showcasing his speed, size, and scoring ability. Over the next decade, he solidified his place among the Rangers’ greats, becoming one of the league’s most consistent power forwards.
In 2022, Kreider recorded a career-high 52 goals, becoming only the fourth Ranger in history to surpass the 50-goal mark in a single season. He ranks among the top 10 in franchise history in goals, power-play goals, and games played.
Beyond his achievements on the ice, Kreider was known for his commitment off the ice. He played an active role in community outreach, mentoring young players, and advocating for mental health awareness. His leadership extended well beyond the rink, and his legacy will be felt in the locker room and throughout the New York City community for years to come.
“I am incredibly grateful to the Rangers organization, my teammates, the coaches, and of course, the fans,” Kreider said in a personal statement. “New York has been my home, and wearing the Rangers jersey has been the greatest honor of my life. While I’m stepping away from the game, I will always be a Ranger at heart.”
The Rangers will honor Chris Kreider’s career with a special tribute night during the upcoming season. Further details will be announced at a later date.
