Red Wings reportedly part ways with Chris Chelios, who could join the NHLPA
The headline says it all, if you missed it, Chris Chelios will not return as an assistant coach this coming season.
Chris Chelios and the Detroit Red Wings have reportedly parted ways.
Chelios had been working on Jeff Blashill’s coaching staff as an assistant. However, according to Darren Dreger of TSN, his contract, which was expiring at the end of June, has now been terminated.
Dreger says that he will likely join the NHLPA as an ombudsman, and he can’t do that as an employee of the Red Wings.
