Adam Foote was named coach of the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday. The 53-year-old replaces Rick Tocchet, who stepped down as Canucks coach April 29. Foote was an assistant for Vancouver the past three seasons. His only previous head coaching experience was two seasons with Kelowna of the Western Hockey League (2018-20).

Adam Foote had been an assistant coach with the Canucks since January 2023, working with the team's defensemen, including Quinn Hughes.

This scene, as the Canucks introduced Foote as their fourth head coach in four years, is one the organization wants to avoid repeating for a while. This franchise needs stability, and Foote is being entrusted as the coach to deliver it.
