Kitchener, Ont. \u2014<\/strong>The Nashville Predators announced today that Jordan DeKort has accepted a new role with the organization as Professional Development Goaltending Coach.<\/p>\n

DeKort, who served most recently as the Rangers\u2019 Director of Goaltending and Video Coach, has been an important part of the club\u2019s hockey operations staff and goaltending development program. In his new role with Nashville, he will support the development of goaltenders across the Predators organization and will serve as the goalie coach for the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) and Atlanta Gladiators (ECHL).<\/p>\n

\u201cJordan played a key role in our hockey operations as both Director of Goaltending and Video Coach,\u201d said Kitchener Rangers General Manager Mike McKenzie. \u201cHe will be sorely missed on both fronts and as well as just his overall presence around the rinks. We are very excited for him to earn this opportunity and wish him the best of luck in Nashville and Milwaukee.\u201d<\/p>\n

A former OHL goaltender, DeKort played four seasons in the league from 2011 to 2015, including the 2013-14 season with the Kitchener Rangers. He returned to the organization in 2021 as Goaltending Coach before being promoted in 2023 to Director of Goaltending and Video Coach, where he oversaw goaltending development, scouting, prospect development, and team video operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to thank Mike McKenzie for allowing me the opportunity to come back to Kitchener. I would also like to thank our entire staff, hockey ops, business staff and players for making my experience in Kitchener first class,\u201d said DeKort. \u201cBeing able to help bring a memorial cup back to Kitchener has been one of the highlights of my life, and being able to bring it to the most deserving fans in the CHL made it even better. I am extremely grateful for my time in Kitchener and the all the people who have helped support me over the last 5 years. The Rangers thank DeKort for his contributions to the organization and wish him continued success with the Predators.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his five seasons with the Kitchener Rangers, Jordan left a positive impact on all of the goalies he worked with in the Rangers organization. Developing goaltenders to play and thrive at the next level like Pavel Cajan, Marco Costantini, Christian Kirsch, Jackson Parsons, and Jason Schaubel to name a few.<\/p>\n

\u201cJordan did an outstanding job working with me this season and played a huge role in my development as a goalie,\u201d said San Jose Sharks prospect, Christian Kirsch. \u201cHe constantly challenged me in practice, paid attention to the small details in my game, and always found ways to help me improve. His coaching gave me more confidence, consistency, and better habits, which had a big impact on my performance throughout the season. I\u2019m really grateful for all the time and effort he put into helping me become a better goalie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson Parsons, 2025 OHL and CHL Goalie of the Year also weighed in on his former goaltending coaches promotion to the big leagues:<\/p>\n

“I was thrilled to hear that Jordan was joining an NHL club,” said Ottawa Senators prospect, Jackson Parsons. “Jordan was instrumental in my success in the OHL and a big part of my development. I couldn\u2019t be happier for him and he will do great things with the Predators organization!”<\/p>\n

Chief Operating Officer and Governor, Joe Birch thanked Jordan for his tireless work and contributions to the organization:<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the Kitchener Rangers, congratulations to Jordan on his new role with the Nashville Predators and Milwaukee Admirals. This is a well-deserved opportunity and a reflection of his character, work ethic, and impact on our organization. We\u2019re proud of Jordan and excited to see him take this next step in his career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thank you again, Jordan, for your incredible contributions to the Kitchener Rangers organization.<\/p>\n

Kitchener, Ont.<\/strong> \u2014 The Kitchener Rangers are proud to announce that defenceman Logan Massimi has signed an OHL Scholarship and Development Agreement with the club.<\/p>\n

Massimi, a native of Scarborough, Ontario, was selected in the ninth round, 182nd overall, in the 2025 OHL Priority Selection. The right-shot defenceman joins the organization after spending last season with the Waterloo Siskins of the GOHL, establishing himself as a promising young player with the tools, compete level, and commitment needed to continue developing at the next level.<\/p>\n

\u201cLogan had a great year of development in Junior B and was exceptional at our spring camp,\u201d said Kitchener Rangers General Manager, Mike McKenzie. \u201cHe has taken big strides since we drafted him. He plays a very well-rounded game, and we see a bright future for him in our program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Massimi, 17, born on January 5th, 2009, is listed at six-foot, 182 pounds. In 49 games with the Waterloo Siskins, Massimi recorded two goals and 16 assists, while racking up 47 penalty minutes. Massimi was called up for the Kitchener Rangers final game of the regular season last year against the Owen Sound Attack. He had a +3 plus\/minus rating in the game.<\/p>\n

Massimi shared his thoughts on what it meant to him signing his Standard Player Agreement with the Kitchener Rangers:<\/p>\n

“Signing with Kitchener means the world to me. Getting drafted by the team and having them believe in me was an incredible feeling, and now being able to sign with the organization makes it even more special. It\u2019s hard to put into words how grateful i am for this opportunity.<\/p>\n

My past season in GOHL with Waterloo was huge for my development. The staff were amazing and put a lot of trust in me allowing my game to make huge strides. Even just being around the Kitchener-Waterloo community and becoming familiar with the area was amazing seeing all the support that these fans give.<\/p>\n

Having the opportunity to be apart of such a great organization like Kitchener is huge especially coming off of a year like they just had with a memorial cup title. It\u2019s big shoes to fill but I\u2019m super excited to get to work and to see what\u2019s in store.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Massimi will join the team next at training camp in August.
