Relentless. That’s the word that new Dallas Stars head coach used when describing what he wants to turn his new team into in 2018-19.
On Friday morning, the Stars hosted a press conference to officially announce Montgomery as the franchise’s next head coach. The reports had been swirling around since Wednesday morning about his hiring, and now they are confirmed. He will serve as the eighth head coach in Dallas Stars history and is the third coach since March 2017.
Jim Nill said that after getting his list down to around 10 coaches (five being NHL vets and five being new coaches to the league), he met with Montgomery and immediately saw a click.
