Avalanche hires Dave Hakstol, former NHL head coach, to fill out Jared Bednar’s staff
“Dave brings a wealth of knowledge and experience behind the bench and will be a great fit on Jared’s staff,” Avalanche general manager Chris MacFarland said in a team statement. “He has an extensive coaching background with a lot of success and will be a valuable addition to our team.”
Avalanche Hires Dave Hakstol
The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today the organization has hired Dave Hakstol as Assistant Coach. Hakstol will join current assistant Nolan Pratt, Goaltending Coach Jussi Parkkila and Assistant/Video Coach Brett Heimlich on Head Coach Jared Bednar’s staff.
Hakstol's success in doing that at UND caught Seattle's eye. "In 11 years there (at UND) as head coach, nine of those years he had a winning percentage over .600," Francis said.
Hakstol’s move to North Dakota didn’t offer much culture shock. “It’s almost like you’re in Canada,” said former assistant coach Brad Berry, who now serves as UND head coach.
Hakstol praised Lowry’s work and those of assistants Jay Leach, Paul McFarland and goaltending coach Steve Briere in helping the team achieve what it did.
