The Boston University Terriers have hired former player Matt Gilroy as their director of player development ahead of the 2026-27 season. Gilroy played four seasons at the school between 2005 and 2009.
Matt Gilroy and his wife Jenny Taft are thrilled to be moving back to Boston, where the former New York Rangers defenseman will be an assistant coach for the men’s hockey team at Harvard University this season.
Matt Gilroy is more qualified than most to discuss EJ Emery and the young defenseman’s future with the New York Rangers. After all, Gilroy is a former Rangers defenseman himself, one who later coached Emery at the United States National Team Development Program.
