Chambers: Jared Bednar inducted into minor-league hockey lore
Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar has a laugh with assist coach Nolan Pratt during morning skate at the SAP Center before game seven of the Stanley Cup Western Conference semifinals May 08, 2019. Congratulations go out to Jared Bednar, the “decorated” Avalanche coach who never played in the NHL.
Bednar, 47, became a Hall of Famer during the Avs’ nine-day break as he was inducted into the ECHL Hall of Fame on Jan. 21. The ECHL is the double-A of hockey, a step below the NHL’s primary minor-league affiliate, the American Hockey League, in which Bednar also excelled in.
