BOSTON (AP) — Longtime NHL defenseman Ken Klee is out as the coach of the U.S. women’s hockey team after leading the Americans to gold medals at the last two world championships.
Who’s in?
The players are waiting to hear, less than a month before the world championship and less than a year before the Olympics in South Korea.
Klee is “not our coach right now,” star forward Hilary Knight told The Associated Press on Saturday. “I just know that it was a privilege to work with him.”
Knight declined to elaborate on the reasons the players were given for the change.
