US hockey team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, announced on Monday that Head Coach Mike Sullivan will leave the team after nearly nine seasons. President of Hockey Operations Kyle Dubas confirmed the decision, calling it a difficult but necessary step as the team navigates a period of transition.
Dubas highlighted Sullivan’s legacy, underscoring his role in leading the Penguins to back-to-back Stanley Cup wins in 2016 and 2017, as well as his influence on star players like Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
“Mike’s dedication and competitiveness defined this era of Penguins hockey,” Dubas said. “His loyalty to Pittsburgh and impact on our core players will remain part of our history.”
Sullivan, who became head coach in 2015 after starting with the Penguins’ minor-league affiliate, holds the franchise record for most wins (409) and ranks among just 14 National Hockey League (NHL) coaches to win 400 games with a single team. His decade-long tenure revitalized the Penguins, cementing their status as a championship contender during his first two seasons.
The Penguins will now begin searching for a new head coach. The move follows a challenging stretch for the team, which has struggled to replicate its past playoff success in recent years.
