The Detroit Red Wings wasted no time in adding another member of the coaching staff as they have added Doug Houda to the coaching staff as an assistant coach. This comes around a day after Pat Ferschweiler was removed from behind the bench.
Doug Houda is a former NHL defenseman who played 561 games in the league, scoring 82 points. Most recently, Houda has been an assistant coach for the Boston Bruins since 2006-07. He won the Stanley Cup with Boston during the 2011 season where they defeated the Vancouver Canucks in seven games.
Houda will be in charge of the defense and penalty killing which was former Detroit Red Wings assistant and now Wisconsin Badgers hockey head coach Tony Granato’s responsibilities in his time as coach.
