Paul Maurice
Here along the Lake You cannot argue with success and the head coach of the Florida Panthers has plenty of that since becoming a Head Coach in the NHL beginning as a mid-season replacement in the 1995-96 NHL regular season.
Paul played and coached major junior hockey in the OHL whereas head coach he won the J. Ross Robertson Cup OHL championship and that success catapulted Paul to become an NHL assistant coach for the Hartford Whalers, eventually their head coach that year forward.
After earning a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals during 2001-02 season, Paul a couple of seasons later left Carolina and was a head coach in the Toronto Maple Leafs organization AHL/NHL, then back to Carolina for a few more seasons before a head coaching gig for one season in Russia.
Once back in North America, Paul spent nearly a decade as the Winnipeg Jets head coach before landing the same position with Florida three years ago as Paul has guided the Panthers to an incredible three consecutive finals appearances in his initial three years as the team’s head coach.
