Hockey Betting Lines
08/12/2008 -
Uniondale, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Islanders have named reigning
AHL coach of the year Scott Gordon head coach, making him the 14th head coach
in franchise history. He has agreed to a multi-year contract with the team.
"Garth has given me an unbelievable opportunity to coach in the NHL with the
Islanders," said Gordon. "From my time coaching in Providence, I've seen
firsthand the talented young players in this organization. I look at the
direction and the vision for this team and see a bright future."
Gordon, 45, led the Providence Bruins to an AHL-best 55-18-3 record last
season and guided the team to a 221-141-20-27 record in five-plus seasons.
"Scott has been one of the top up-and-coming coaches in hockey and with good
reason," said Islanders general manager Garth Snow. "Through his work in the
minor leagues and most recently with Providence over the last eight years, he
has gained an impeccable reputation. The entire Islanders organization looks
forward to working with Scott."
A goaltender for Boston College from 1982-1986, Gordon appeared in the NCAA
Frozen Four in 1985 and was a Hockey East First-Team All-Star in 1986. He
played a total of 23 career NHL games, all with the Quebec Nordiques, and
played on the 1992 United States Olympic team.
After retiring as a player in 1994, Gordon began his coaching career with the
International Hockey League's Atlanta Knights from 1994-1996, and spent time
with the Quebec Rafales from 1996-1998. He also coached the Roanoke Express of
the ECHL from 1998-2000 before becoming an assistant at Providence.
