Former Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft hits rock bottom

The Oilers had a terrible start to the season, landing near the bottom of the league. Desperate for change, the team fired head coach Jay Woodcroft and assistant coach Dave Manson. The move paid off, as the Oilers are now in the second round of the playoffs less than a year after his firing.

Since leaving the Oilers, Woodcroft has taken a surprising turn in his career. He is now promoting a health elixir from a company called Sense Naturals. In a promotional video, Woodcroft says:

Woodcroft mentions that he has connections to the company through the Oilers' former director of high performance, Simon Bennett:

After seven months away from the Oilers, Woodcroft's new venture into the health supplement industry has made him a subject of ridicule and pity among fans and critics.

The Edmonton Oilers are set to play their fifth game against the Vancouver Canucks tonight with the series tied. With the team thriving after his departure and Woodcroft now in a new industry, it may be a long time before we see him back behind the bench.
