Breaking News: Paul Maurice resigns as Winnipeg Jets head coach

Paul Maurice has been the bench boss in Winnipeg for eight full seasons and this year was his ninth, which made him the second longest tenured coach in the NHL, but today the team announced he has resigned.

Dave Lowry has agreed to take over as interim coach.

Here is the press release:


Maurice will be available to the media today in the Matt Frost Media Centre at 10:00 a.m.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
