Its official!

Willie Desjardins has been named Canucks 18th head coach in franchise history.

I am not sure that this is a surprise and rumours have been swirling for a few weeks now that the Canucks were very interested in Willie.

I have heard complaints from Canucks fans that an experienced NHL head coach wasn’t selected but Willie’s selection might not be poor choice.

Willie has won as a head coach at every level of hockey and that means a lot.
