Longtime NHL and Team USA coach Ron Wilson is recovering from a stroke, he confirmed in a text to ESPN.com.
He suffered the stroke last week.
"I feel fine," he wrote. "In rehab now for a couple of weeks."
Wilson last coached in the NHL with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2012, but he led Team USA to a bronze medal in the 2016 World Junior Championships.
He was the first coach of the Anaheim Ducks, he led the Washington Capitals to the Stanley Cup finals in 1998, and he coached in San Jose along with his final stop in Toronto.
