Coyotes give 3-year extension to coach Tourigny
Written by I Dig SportsThe Arizona Coyotes have signed coach André Tourigny to a three-year contract extension, general manager Bill Armstrong announced Wednesday.
Tourigny has served as Coyotes coach for two seasons. Despite a 53-90-21 record amid an ongoing rebuild, Armstrong lauded Tourigny as "an excellent coach, leader and communicator who has helped us establish a tremendous culture in our dressing room. Our players like him, respect him and compete hard for him."
Terms of the extension were not disclosed.
The Coyotes took a step forward last season by climbing out of the Western Conference basement with a 13-point improvement from 2021-22 to 2022-23.
Tourigny, 49, coached Canada to a gold medal at the world hockey championship in May.
