Vancouver Canucks part ways with assistant coach Mike Yeo

The coaching staff that orchestrated the Vancouver Canucks' turnaround in the 2023-24 season will look a little bit different next season. Assistant coach Mike Yeo won't return, as the Canucks announced that he and the team have "mutually parted ways." The Canucks reportedly offered Yeo a contract extension but it either was not deemed sufficient or Yeo is seeking another opportunity, possibly both. Yeo has two stints as an NHL head coach, heading up the Minnesota Wild from 2011 to 2016 and the St. Louis Blues from 2017 to 2018.
