NHL Power Rankings: Ranking The 30 Current Head Coaches
Posted 10/18/2010 - 23:23 by HockeyPolls
An often overlooked and under appreciated part of an NHL hockey team is the Head Coach. An often thankless position, the tenure of a Head Coach does not tend to be very long. In fact, of the 30 head coaches in place to start the 2010-11 season, only six coaches have completed the last three full seasons in their current position.
There seems to be quite a high amount of turnover in the profession, even for successful head coaches. A sign of this is with the thirty head coaches in place, only seven have earned the highest prize of all, the Stanley Cup. And of those seven, only four have done so with the team they currently coach.
Let's take a look at how I rank them from 30 to 1, ranking them by their NHL careers thus far, and we'll throw some stats and tidbits in wherever and whenever we can.
(All win-loss records and statistical information is as of the start of the 2010-11 season)
I look forward to your comments and debates as to why a coach may be ranked to high or too low......
