Breaking News - Mike Babcock announces what's next in his coaching career, not what you'd expect
Earlier this week Mike Babcock announced his resignation from his role as Head Coach of the University of Saskatchewan. The move came as a surprise as Babcock had agreed to a 2-year volunteer role with the club. But after only 1 season Babcock opted to resign from his role.
Now less than 48 hours later it appears Babcock is taking things even further. According to The Score , Mike Babcock has decided to call it a career.
Babcock said the following:
No, that's sure not the plan. My wife and I have discussed this a ton, obviously. ... We always said we were going to retire at 60, and I'm 59. Basically, that's what it is.
If things change, I guess they change, but surely that's not our plan. Believe me, we've talked to lots of people about opportunities and enjoyed those conversations. In the end, we feel this is best for us and best for our family, so that's what we're doing.
If this is the end Babcock ends his career having coached for 17 seasons and ends with a record of 700-418-19-164 while spending time with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Detroit Red Wings, and Toronto Maple Leafs.
