-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Details: Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin and Abbotsford Canucks General Manger Ryan Johnson announced today changes to the club's coaching staff. Mike Yeo has been brought on as an Assistant Coach and Trent Cull has been promoted to Assistant Coach of the Vancouver Canucks. Jeremy Colliton will take over as Head Coach of the Abbotsford Canucks, while Brad Shaw will be leaving the organization to take an Associate Coach position with the Philadelphia Flyers. "We're pleased to have solidified our Coaching staff for next season with the promotion of Trent Cull and the additions of Mike Yeo and Jeremy Colliton," said Allvin. "These individuals bring a lot of hockey experience and knowledge to the group. We would like to thank Brad Shaw for his contributions to the club and wish him the best of luck in Philadelphia." "I am so excited to help bring this group of coaches together," said Canucks Head Coach Bruce Boudreau. "When I started the conversations with Mike Yeo, it became clear to me that he would be an excellent addition. Working with Patrik to create a well-rounded staff was very important for us as we look to continue to build upon the momentum we experienced last season." "Trent Cull did an excellent job for us at the AHL level, and I am so happy to see him get this much deserved promotion," said Johnson. "Bringing in Jeremy Colliton to build on the things we have started in Abbotsford is a huge win for the organization. Jeremy has a great head for the game, and I look forward to working with him this coming season." Yeo, 48, served as an assistant coach with the Philadelphia Flyers in 2020-21 and for the first 22 games of 2021-22 before being named Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the season.

The Scarborough native collected a Stanley Cup as an Assistant Coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2009. Trent Cull begins his sixth year with the Canucks organization after most recently serving as the first Head Coach of the Abbotsford Canucks. In Abbotsford's inaugural season, Cull posted a 39-23-5-1 record and led the team to the playoffs. Cull, 48, joined the Canucks' AHL affiliate on June 18, 2017, after having significant coaching and playing experience in the league. Prior to joining the Canucks organization, he served as Assistant Coach of the Syracuse Crunch for four seasons, his second stint with the team after serving in the same role from 2006-10. In 2017 Cull led the Crunch to an Eastern Conference Championship and a berth in the 2017 Calder Cup Final. Colliton, 37, was named the 38th Head Coach of the Chicago Blackhawks, where he served for parts of four seasons. In 205 career NHL games coached, all with the Blackhawks, he posted a record of 87-92-26. Prior to coaching in the NHL, he acted as the Head Coach of Chicago's AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs, where he accumulated a record of 46-31-0-11in 88 games.

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Obviously scared of Yeo but hopefully he has very little influence on Bruce and doesn't get groomed into the head job in a few years time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AV. Posted July 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2022 List of Brad Shaw accomplishments in Vancouver - recommended the former regime pay 4 x 2M for a 6th defenceman - did absolutely nothing tangible to fix the defensive structure Safe to say, we're probably better off with this separation. Welcome to the new guys, I guess. 2 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the guy who played Jett Woo...a former 2nd round pick, a defencemen, as a third line RW when he had healthy forwards to put instead? 8 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the coaching moves, I don't pretend to know much about coaching ability but I don't think Cull's record was great either on a won-lost basis or in development. But Canuck management has been saying good things about him. As for Yeo, his reputation is mixed. I guess he gets to be the "bad cop" to go with Boudreau's "good cop". Colliton's record in Chicago was not great but not too bad and I know nothing about his record in developing players, which is the key for the AHL. Each of these guys will have a different role than they have had in the recent past and it is very hard to predict how things will play out.

ilduce39 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Losing Shaw really stings. That was a huge “get” for the previous regime and he flipped the PK from dead last to a top 10 unit once Green and Baumer were let go. Yeo and Cull are names at least - a couple of hard asses to complement Boudreau’s style maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I know there were some who were averse to the idea of Cull as a head coach. I wonder how they feel about him being an assistant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I’m honestly more surprised Yeo is only 48 years old. Not everyday you see a 48 year old coach with nearly 1000 games, half of them in the NHL, with a winning record. Perhaps Bruce can take Yeo to the next level in his coaching career, as he’s likely to be our next coach given Bruce’s age. Im completely fine with Yeo. Colliton is pretty inexperienced, don’t really know much, but he seems to be more of a player development coach, which could help out the younger guys. As for Cull, not really sold. Playing Woo as a forward for like 5 mins a game is mind boggling to say the least. Im just glad we’ve finally rounded out our management side of things and I think this will probably be one of the last moves in regards to that before we start seeing player transactions and getting to the bottom of our roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
