Hitchcock fired
« on: February 03, 2010, 07:29:44 PM »
The Columbus Blue Jackets have fired Head Coach Ken Hitchcock and will replace him with Claude Noel on an interim basis. Noel served as the assistant coach in Columbus since 2007. Prior to that he spent four seasons as the head coach of the Milwaukee Admirals. Hitchcock will be an assistant head coach in 13 days for Team Canada at the Olympics.

Is he even eligible to this year? Or does he have to wait until next year? I'm assuming the only logic in bringing him back this year is to get some chemistry with the likes of Vermette, Brassard, Voracek, Huselius and Nash. Looking at it, that has the potential to be a pretty solid top 6.

To be honest I have no idea if he's eligible to return this season or not where he's on loan to the KHL team.
