After three Stanley Cup titles and nine playoff appearances with the Chicago Blackhawks, the longtime coach figured this was a big season for him. Head coach Joel Quenneville led the Chicago Blackhawks to three Stanley Cup victories. Jeremy Colliton was hired as the 38th head coach in franchise history, and Barry Smith, 66, moved from Chicago’s front office to the bench as an assistant coach. Colliton moves from Chicago’s American Hockey League affiliate in Rockford, Illinois, and is now the NHL’s youngest head coach at 33. That’s two (NHL coach firings) in two days,” Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said before the Golden Knights faced the Maple Leafs on Tuesday.
