Dallas Stars Putting Pressure On New Coach Ken Hitchcock

Being an NHL coach must be an interesting gig, regardless of whether the journey includes the Dallas Stars or not.

In today’s NHL, it’s not uncommon for a head coach to pass through six or even seven franchises during his career. The need to win is at an all-time high, and as a result, the coaching carousel is constantly spinning, dropping the same coaches off at different locations every few summers.

And though one coach may have been in the league for a long time (perhaps even decades), every time they arrive at a new destination, it’s like they’re a rookie coach all over again.
