Hitch is home. On Thursday morning at a press conference at the American Airlines Center, the Dallas Stars announced that they have named Ken Hitchcock their newest head coach.
“This is an emotional day for me because it feels like I’m coming home,” Hitchcock said in the press conference.
This will be Hitchcock’s second time to coach the Dallas Stars, and the Stars can only hope that his second tour is as successful as his first. From the 1995-96 season to the 2001-02 season, Hitchcock led Dallas out of their worst season in franchise history to a playoff and Stanley Cup contender each year.
