The Vancouver Canucks have elevated Adam Foote to head coach to replace Rick Tocchet. Foote has been an assistant coach for the Canucks over the past three seasons.
Foote\'s only previous head coaching experience was one season behind the bench of the WHL Kelowna Rockets, going 29-28-6 in 63 games in 2019-20.
Tocchet stepped down after his three-year contract expired at the conclusion of the 2024-25 season and will become the next head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers.
