DALLAS — The highly organized, thoroughly detailed side of Barry Trotz was on full display.
Serving as an assistant coach under Andy Murray for Team Canada at the 2003 World Championships in Finland, Trotz ran the special teams video sessions.
“It’s a short tournament, two, three weeks,” said former NHL goalie Marty Biron, who played for Team Canada. “Those video sessions lasted like 45 minutes to the point where we were like, ‘Hey, listen, we’re in Europe at the World Championships, we don’t want to sit in a ballroom for 45 minutes.’ ”
That’s when the side of Trotz that relates so well to players took over.
