– Rick is one of the most respected and loved people to have ever coached in the NHL. He has dedicated his life to our species, the GM of Stars Jim Nill comments.
“He stepped into the role of head coach seamlessly and guided our team through unprecedented events that affected our players and staff on and off the ice,” Nill continued.
