The surprising and curious resignation of Dan Church as head coach of the Canadian women’s hockey team less than two months before the Winter Olympics will apparently mean a trip to Sochi, Russia, for ex-Panthers coach Kevin Dineen.
According to TSN’s Bob McKenzie, Dineen will be named the new coach of the women’s team, the move coming just over a month after he was fired by Florida.
Update: It’s official.
Canada and the United States are the co-favorites to win gold in women’s hockey. The Canadian women have won gold at the last three Olympics.
