It's only been a few days since the Minnesota Wild General Manager Chuck Fletcher, named Minnesota-native Todd Richards as the team's new Head Coach. And already, I've got a great feeling about next season!
Todd Richards previously played collegiately with the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers and spent last season as an Assistant Coach for the San Jose Sharks. In all 13 of his professional seasons as a player, as well as all seven as a Head Coach or Assistant Coach, Todd Richards has made the playoffs. Because the General Manager-Coach relationship is so important in the success of the organization, the Minnesota Wild already have a great advantage next season. Chuck Fletcher was able to hire his own Head Coach and has a proven track record working with Todd Richards. It looks like the Minnesota Wild have the right idea- to hire passionate, experienced people to work off the ice and demand that the players play an aggressive, up-tempo style on the ice.
They're going to be a hard team to play against this season, yet still exciting and entertaining for the fans. I can't wait to watch a faster brand of hockey at the Xcel Energy Center. I'll bet the Minnesota Wild tickets for next season will be one of the hottest commodities around!
