The Vancouver Canucks have named Adam Foote as their new head coach, the team announced on Wednesday. Foote, 53, had served as an assistant coach under head coach Rick Tocchet for the last three seasons.

Rick Tocchet will be tasked with directing the Philadelphia Flyers' rebuild.

Two straight years of season-ending slumps was enough to spark a head coaching change.

Based on his development, Willander will be in the conversation for a roster spot in 2025-26.
