The Winnipeg Jets have named Scott Arniel their new head coach, who played for the previous incarnation of the franchise in the 1980s... it was widely speculated that Arniel would end up with the job thanks to his ties to the franchise and the city, as well as his previous head coaching experience.
Arniel posted a 15-7-3 record in [his] interim role over those 25 games in 2022-23 and 2023-24.
Winnipeg finished second in the Central Division with 110 points this season, earning Bowness a nomination for the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's best coach. But the Jets lost in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs to the Colorado Avalanche in five games.
"I think they did a great job," general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said of his coaching staff. "We instilled a structure that showed we could win with it. There was a level of consistency for a long period of time."
