Blues dismiss Hitchcock, promote Yeo to coach
Print Edition
THE St Louis Blues sacked coach Ken Hitchcock on Wednesday, a day after a 3-5 defeat to the Winnipeg Jets that marked their fifth defeat in their past six NHL games.
But general manager Doug Armstrong decided it was time to make a move after the Blues endured their fourth straight home defeat in regulation — a defeat that dropped them to 24-21-5 for the season. “We don’t lose with pride. It just felt like we were hit and miss night in and night out,” Armstrong said on Wednesday. The 65-year-old coach was hired by the Blues in November 2011 and has the second-most career wins by a St Louis coach. He has won 781 games in his 20 years of coaching. Hitchcock led the Blues to the Western Conference final last year, the first time they reached that round since 2001. When he announced prior to the season that this would be his last campaign, former Minnesota Wild head coach Mike Yeo was brought in as his expected heir. Now Yeo, 43, will take over as head coach immediately.
