Paul Maurice
Paul Maurice (born January 30, 1967) is a Canadian former ice hockey player and current head coach of the Winnipeg Jets of the National Hockey League (NHL). At age 43, Maurice became the youngest coach in NHL history to coach 1,000 games, reaching the milestone on November 28, 2010. Originally a defenceman in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), Maurice played four years of junior hockey prior to suffering an eye injury. Maurice formerly coached the Hartford Whalers/Carolina Hurricanes franchise from 1995 to 2003 and the Toronto Maple Leafs from 2006 to 2008. On December 3, 2008, Maurice was re-hired by the Hurricanes after the firing of Peter Laviolette, who had replaced him in 2003. On November 28, 2011, the Carolina Hurricanes announced that he had been fired for a second time, whereupon, after a brief stint coaching Metallurg Magnitogorsk in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), he joined the Winnipeg Jets in January 2014.

Mike Babcock, Paul Maurice not looking to coach in NHL this season

The turmoil surrounding the Edmonton Oilers resulted in several jerseys being thrown on the ice after a 6-0 defeat at the hands of the Florida Panthers. As silly as it sounds, jersey tosses have often come just ahead of a coach’s dismissal, as Ron Wilson and Travis Green can attest. The situation with Dave Tippett in Edmonton is an evolving one, as Ryan Rishaug of TSN explains that though a change isn’t imminent, it is a “day-to-day process” at the moment and suggests that a poor result against the Calgary Flames Saturday night would likely leave no choice for general manager Ken Holland.

Paul Maurice resigned and that is not a mark against him

Paul Maurice left the Winnipeg Jets on his own terms. We do not know if he had many conversations about resigning, but he chose to resign instead of waiting to get fired. This allows for Maurice to have more control over his future if he decides to coach again because he is not still being paid by the Jets and therefore they do not need to be asked permission to talk to him.

Paul Maurice Did the Jets a Favour By Stepping Down

Whether he was pressured by True North or decided to do it all on his own, Paul Maurice did something rare for an NHL coach: he left on his own terms. His Friday-morning resignation was a surprising end to his nine-season, 600-game tenure as the Winnipeg Jets’ bench boss, and came among calls for his firing due to the Jets’ struggles despite being a Stanley Cup contender on paper after a strong offseason by GM Kevin Cheveldayoff.
