Tippett To Be Announced as New Head Coach

At 3PM MST, the Coyotes will announce Dave Tippett as Wayne Gretzky’s replacement behind the Phoenix bench, reports TSN’s Bob McKenzie via Twitter.

Tippett had previously coached the Dallas Stars for six seasons, until the end of the 2008-09 season. He compiled an impressive 271-156-28-37 record with the Stars, but was fired after missing the playoffs for the first time last season.
