Former NHL bench boss brings 15 seasons of coaching experience with Calgary, Arizona and Edmonton
The Prince George Cougars have hired former NHL head coach Jim Playfair as their new associate coach.
“After last year ‘s experience being around the team and the ownership and the excitement of the playoffs it really energized me about getting back into the game,” said Playfair. “And certainly the opportunity in Prince George makes it more exciting being close to home.” Playfair brings 15 years of experience as an NHL coach with Calgary, Arizona and Edmonton, having served as head coach of the Flames in 2006-07. The former NHL defenceman also worked in the AHL coaching in Saint John and Abbotsford after starting his coaching career in the ECHL in Dayton and the IHL in Michigan.
Playfair, a former WHL player with the Calgary Wranglers and Portland Winterhawks, played 21 NHL games for Edmonton and Chicago over his nine-year pro career. In 1990 he won a Turner Cup International Hockey League championships with the Indianapolis Ice.Playfair was drafted 20th overall by the Edmonton Oilers in 1982.
