Colorado Avalanche: Coaching Changes Signal New Direction

For the Colorado Avalanche, transformative change was necessary after one of the worst NHL seasons in history. After much anticipation since the end of the season, it seems that change has finally arrived.

On Tuesday, the club announced via Twitter that three assistant coaches would not be returning.

Avalanche coaches Francois Allaire, Tim Army and Dave Farrish will not be returning next season.

This should come as no surprise after such an abysmal season, but comes as a relief to many Avs fans who thought this move would happen sooner.
