David Quinn is now officially an NHL head coach.

The longtime Boston University bench boss was tabbed Wednesday as the next man to lead the New York Rangers.

Quinn spent the last five years guiding the Terriers, while recruiting numerous future NHL stars including Jack Eichel, Clayton Keller, and Charlie McAvoy.

The Rangers fired former head coach Alain Vigneault on the final Saturday night of the NHL's regular season after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2009-10.
