Coaching in the NHL is a prestigious role, with only 32 head coaching positions available each year. Earning one of these spots demands a lot of hard work. However, a recent incident involving a former head coach highlights how this privilege can be lost.
Mike Babcock faced a storm of controversy when reports emerged accusing him of mistreating players. The specific claim came from Paul Bissonnette of the Spittin Chiclets Podcast, who accused Babcock of invading players' privacy by snooping through their phones.
Teams with fresh, innovative head coaches, such as the Montreal Canadiens and Buffalo Sabres, are on the rise. They attribute their success to their coaches' modern approaches, proving that evolving with the times is crucial for staying competitive in the NHL.
