It’s official — Pete DeBoer is the 25th head coach in Dallas Stars history:
“Pete brings a wealth of experience to our dressing room, and we’re thrilled to name him our next head coach,” [general manager Jim] Nill said. “Every team that he has taken over has not only shown immediate improvement but has been ultra-competitive in the Stanley Cup Playoffs... His resume displays the high standards he sets and his ability to get his team to play up to that level consistently.”
DeBoer has 14 years of NHL head coaching experience under his belt, having served as one every season since 2008.
