Ted Nolan doesn't hold back, providing raw details of his life in Garden River First Nation Reserve — near Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.— leaving home to play hockey as an outsider, making the NHL, his journey in coaching, and a still-stunning split with the Sabres.
Oct 13, 2023 at 11:00 AM ETThe knock at the door was the delivery of the Jack Adams Award — a prestigious nod given annually to the NHL's coach of the year.to a surprise division title, besting a field that included the legendary Scotty Bowman.
"I lifted my foot, and with all the strength I had, kicked the box, sending it hurtling," Nolan continued."I heard it land with a loud metallic crash." "I got really emotional about what happened in my career," Nolan said in an interview with The Canadian Press."Had to get into the private part and talk about my upbringing and the things that happened."
"We heard the whole story with truth and reconciliation … everybody's like, 'Just get over it,'" Nolan said."How do you just get over something so traumatic?""It should be a little bit more open," Nolan said."Have a little bit more understanding, have a little bit more compassion for people less fortunate trying to play."
That led him to Buffalo, where he pushed the Sabres atop the standings despite a limited roster and a strained relationship with general manager John Muckler."Rumours I wouldn't listen to direction, I'm a hard guy to work with, I'm lazy, I was drunk at practice," Nolan said."When you say 'lazy' and 'drunk at practice,' that really hit home. Our people have been described as that for so long.
"People made assumptions that John and I were at each other's throats," he said."It wasn't like that. We had different philosophies."
