Rangers' Quinn Could be a Jack Adams Contender

November 20th, 2020 In 2018 when David Quinn officially became the head of the New York Rangers coaching staff, it was agreed to be a five-year contract. As Quinn enters the third season of his first stab at being a head NHL coach, he — like the rest of the organization — will continue to be evaluated. The Rangers belong to the Metropolitan...

Jack Adams, the Man and the Award

November 18th, 2020 Few people have had a more transcending impact on the NHL than legendary coach and general manager Jack Adams.

Coyotes’ Tocchet Deserves Serious Jack Adams Consideration

July 10th, 2020 Besides a Stanley Cup, the Jack Adams Award is the most coveted trophy a head coach can win in the National Hockey League.

Blue Jackets' Tortorella Deserves the Jack Adams

March 26th, 2020 John Tortorella: confident, short-tempered, witty, in-your-face, passionate, and intense.

Penguins' Sullivan in the Running for Jack Adams

March 4th, 2020 Over the course of the 2019-20 Pittsburgh Penguins’ season, a lot of talk has been floating around regarding head coach Mike Sullivan being a candidate for the NHL’s Jack Adams Award for league’s best coach.

Brind'Amour Deserves Jack Adams Nomination

Brind'Amour Deserves Jack Adams Nomination

April 28th, 2019 Carolina Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour should be the leading candidate to win the Jack Adams Award, hands down. When the three finalists for the award were announced Friday, though, Brind'Amour's name was glaringly absent. It is nothing less than a shame that he has been left out of the running. This is not in any way...
Bruins Success Makes Cassidy a Jack Adams Candidate

Bruins Success Makes Cassidy a Jack Adams Candidate

January 11th, 2018 When I laid forth my awards predictions for the 2017-18 season back in late September, I had no idea that one of the best coaches in the NHL was right under my nose here in Boston. Taking over for a man who was not only the winningest coach in team history but also the longest-tenured in the league would be a tall task for anyone. For...

Paul Maurice is the Real Coach of the Year

May 7th, 2015 For the first time since they left Winnipeg in 1996, the Jets were able to give their fans playoff hockey as they battled their way into the 2015 NHL Playoffs.
