Vegas Golden Knights Name Ryan Craig as New Head Coach

The Vegas Golden Knights have officially named Ryan Craig as their new head coach, promoting him from his AHL role. This decision comes after the team decided not to retain John Tortorella, who led the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup Final on an interim basis. General Manager Kelly McCrimmon stated that Tortorella was interested in continuing with the team, but the organization believes it is time to move forward with Craig at the helm. Craig, 44, is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the team as they look to build on their recent success.
