Allowing this unqualified idiot to coach any national team is a disgrace to the country. He must be related to Tom Renney head of hockey Canada?

Just being honest there are lots of better choice coaches from WHL or OHL leagues with proven coaching records...Serious come on he should be starting in BCJHL or WHL as coach first... See how good he is with a average team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right of course, Baughmgartner was a star D man in Kamloops and Renney was the coach... Now I understand how he got this opportunity .. So many great coaches with proven records in WHL or OHL to pick from...Baumgartner has no coaching experience but has connection with Renney so so wrong...Should be one of the top coaches in WHL or OHL, QJHL, to coach..Reward for being a good coach....

Dazzle Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Kinda funny how Baumgartner's been given all these opportunities to coach BEFORE Green. Says a lot about how Green is really perceived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon there was a list of qualified applicants for the job and the powers that be selected Baumer. These are hockey people that made the decision and I trust they chose the coach that they though would do the best job. We'll have to wait and see how things go in January. One certainty is that they know a lot more about hockey coaching then either you or I (or anyone else on this board). Maybe the qualified applicant list is short like politicians ones "seem" to be Maybe the hockey people making the decisions have dual citizenship, or promised one) Seriously though i wish the best for the kids and Team and together they achieve their goal of winning the Tourney together I always look forward to this event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bounce000 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I could coach the U18 too… my game plan would be “Give Bedard the puck” and we’ll win every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly has the experience to qualify him to coach at the Jr level. This will be his first opportunity as a head coach, which will help with his ongoing development. Many Canuck fans tend to be hyper critical On top of that, as a player, Major Junior Memorial Cup championship (Kamloops Blazers) - 1994, 1995 Memorial Cup All-Star Team - 1994, 1995 airBC Trophy (WHL playoff MVP) - 1995 Bill Hunter Trophy (WHL's best defenceman) - 1995, 1996 CHL Defenceman of the Year - 1995 [1] WHL West First All-Star Team - 1995, 1996[1] AHL AHL All-Star Game appearance - 2005, 2007*, 2010**[2] *starter, **captain of Canadian All-Stars International World Junior gold (Team Canada) - 1995, 1996 World Junior All-Star Team - 1996[1] As well it should be noted that he captained the AHL All Star Team, captained AHL Manitoba Moose two different times, and was drafted 10th overall in '94 by the Caps.

Bottom line is Baumgartner has been grossly incompetent in every coaching position he's held and has done nothing to indicate he is qualified to coach at any level. Sabotaging every team you are entrusted with by displaying an inability to implement any kind of effective strategy is not a good resume. I'm grateful this baboon can't do any more damage to the Canucks, but I'm worried for the young Canadian players who may have their development stunted by a bad coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is now a good time to comment? 39% PK. That says it all really. Can’t defend and can’t do specialty teams. I hope this is the last time we see Baumgartner as a part of any of our hockey teams from Abbotsford to the Canucks or Canada. It’s crystal clear by now: he can’t coach. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s crystal clear by now: he can’t coach. Bumgartner is still a very young coach, so he can lead. But right now he seems to turn his players into system robots, and takes their natural hockey talents out of them. Way too much standing around thinking instead of playing natural. Less complex systems, where guys are too often thinking instead of simplified plans where guys can play fast and show their skill. He needs to be in the AHL learning coaching is not so much about X’s and O’s at the top level and more about freeing up players to be able to be at their best.

Well he did learn under Green so the whole “must fit system” mantra isn’t exactly surprising, but good coaches always build their system to fit their players. He doesn’t know how to do that.

He doesn’t know how to do that. Exactly. He needs to go to the WHL and learn under an actual coach before he's allowed to cause more damage to young players than he already has. I'm not sure how anyone could think this baboon is qualified to coach at any level whatsoever given his performance so far. Baumgartner flat out disgraced his country with the same level of gross incompetence that he displayed here. He was every bit as much of a handicap to the team as he predicted, and Hockey Canada should be ashamed of themselves for subjecting our players to a coach who is too stupid to handle beer league.
