It’s going to be a busy summer at Dallas Stars headquarters: The club has chosen former head coach Glen Gulutzan to return as bench boss.
Gulutzan comes back to Dallas after seven seasons as an assistant coach with the Edmonton Oilers, helping lead the team to two Western Conference Final victories – over the Stars – in 2024 and 2025. And he began his career with the Stars in Cedar Park, coaching the Texas Stars to the Calder Cup final during their inaugural season in 2009-10.
But what most fans will remember is his tenure as head coach of the big team from 2011-13 – and that may be what troubles some minds the most.
