The Arizona Coyotes have signed coach André Tourigny to a three-year contract extension, ensuring he will be at the forefront of the franchise’s rebuilding process.
The Coyotes opted to rebuild from the ground up, trading away or releasing many of their veteran players to acquire younger players and a load of draft picks.
Well-liked by the players, Tourigny led Arizona to 25 wins and 57 points his first season, then 28 wins and 70 points last year. The Coyotes were particularly good at their small, temporary home last season, going 21-15-5 at 5,000-seat Mullett Arena. The Coyotes were aggressive during the offseason, adding Max Dumba, Sean Durzi, Nick Bjugstad, Alex Kerfoot and Jason Zucker in an effort to continue their climb.
“I feel very lucky to work with our group of players as well,” Tourigny said. “The hard work and commitment to the team they have demonstrated the past two years has established the foundation of our culture. It’s an exciting time to be part of the Coyotes.” Tourigny also was on the coaching staff of a Team Canada program that won three straight world championships. He was the head coach of the Team Canada team that took gold at the 2023 IIHG World Championships.The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
