The New York Islanders have parted ways with head coach Ted Nolan.
Islanders general manager Garth Snow announced Monday that Nolan will
not return next season. Nolan had one season remaining on his
contract.
"Ted has helped us achieve some success over the last two seasons,
however it has become clear that we have philosophical differences and
have decided together to part ways," said Snow in a press release.
"Since last season and continuing into the summer, I have realized we
do not share the same philosophies. I would like to thank Ted for his
two years with the team and wish him the best.
"I have a list of several qualified candidates. After a thorough
process, we will hire the very best coach to lead the Islanders on the
ice."
Nolan was 75-68-21 in two seasons on the Island. His career record as
an NHL coach stands at 148-140-19-21.
"While I am disappointed I will not be coaching the Islanders next
season, there have been philosophical differences and we've agreed
it's a good time for me to move on," Nolan said in a statement. "I
want to thank the Islanders organization for giving me a chance to
coach in the NHL again. I have tremendous respect for what the team is
trying to do and I wish them well."
