Peter DeBoer is the new man behind the bench for the Vegas Golden Knights, and he will try to lead this team to a championship.
However, I don’t want to talk about DeBoer in this space, instead I want to dedicate some time to Gallant who was a fine coach and an even better man.
He was the first Head Coach in franchise history for the Vegas Golden Knights and he will forever go down in NHL history for what he achieved with this team.
So, on that note, I decided to pen an open letter to Gerard Gallant following his dismissal as Head Coach of the Vegas Golden Knights…
Dear Coach Gallant,
You were plucked from hockey wilderness and chosen to be the man to lead this expansion team on its NHL adventure.
