With the Ken Hitchcock reunion having belly flopped in a pile of average, the Dallas Stars did not grab another retread to coach their team back to relevance.
Instead, Stars general manager Jim Nill made the rare choice to go to college for his next head coach.
Team sources said former Dallas Stars journeyman forward Jim Montgomery has been selected to replace Hitch' as the team's new head coach.
Montgomery will be the Stars' sixth new head coach since 2008-'09.
