Bruce Boudreau hired as next coach of Vancouver Canucks

Boudreau, 66, hasn’t coached in the NHL since the 2019-20 season when he served as the Minnesota Wild’s bench boss.

The Canucks signed Travis Green to a two-year extension this past offseason. 

“I am excited to add Bruce Boudreau as our new Head Coach, and Scott as Assistant,” Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini said in a statement, via the USA Today. "Bruce is one of the most experienced coaches in the NHL, with nearly 1,000 games behind the bench and a successful track record working with some of the game’s best talent. Scott is a young coach with an excellent reputation who will fit in very well with our group.”
