The Vancouver Canucks are entering a new era as Adam Foote was introduced as the team’s head coach on Thursday. Foote has spent the last few seasons with the club as an assistant, so there is a level of familiarity there. Still, this will be his first time leading an NHL club, and he’ll surely bring some of his own ideas to the table.

“Adam is a strong leader, good teacher and person who knows what it takes to build a great culture and winning attitude,” said Allvin.
