Just because it says coach of the year, doesn't necessarily mean he was coach of the year in the NHL.

I just went through every NHL expansion team head coach..... but it doesnt say he stated his Head Coaching career with the expansion team


So we could be looking for a career Minor League coach who was drafted and played one game in the NHL and was an assistant for a brief time. Yikes

Don't think he was drafted into the NHL either. Think Detroit bought his AHL contract...

For what it's worth, the draft didn't start until '63...

50 drafts to scour over?!?!? After narrowing down head/assistant coaches of the 20 expansion teams since '67? One head + two assistants per team x 20 expansion teams = 60 individuals - probably a quarter to a third of whom were non-drafted NHL players because they played pre draft = 40-45 guys max.

Scouring 50 yrs is way too many!

I'm thinking perhaps Terry Crisp? Was he the coach when Tampa entered the league? Could he have been a coach of the year with Calgary & Tampa?
