Vancouver Canucks fire head coach Adam Foote after only 1 season: Source

The Vancouver Canucks have fired head coach Adam Foote after just one season behind the bench, a league source confirmed to The Athletic on Tuesday. TSN’s Darren Dreger was the first to report on Foote’s dismissal.Foote, 54, was hired by the Canucks after two and a half seasons as an assistant coach on former coach Rick Tocchet’s staff. Foote’s responsibilities under Tocchet included running the defense and the penalty kill, and he excelled in that capacity. During Foote’s tenure as an assistant, several long-tenured Vancouver defenders, like Tyler Myers, had their best Canucks seasons, while Quinn Hughes leveled up and won the Norris Trophy.Advertisement
