The Vancouver Canucks are promoting Travis Green from the AHL to be their next head coach, according to TSN.
Green has been the head coach of the Canucks' AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, for the past three seasons. The Comets lost in the Calder Cup finals two seasons ago and in the semifinals last season.
Green played for five teams in an NHL career that spanned from 1992-2007. His best season came in 1995-96 for the Islanders when he scored 70 points in 69 games.
