VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA – The Vancouver Canucks have fired head coach Adam Foote after a single season.
The NHL team announced the news Tuesday, saying in a social media post that assistant coaches Scott Young, Kevin Dean and Brett McLean have also been dismissed.
Vancouver finished the season last in the league with a 25-49-8 record.
The team’s defence struggled all season, giving up the most goals-against per game (3.83). The team also finished with the league’s worst home record (7-27-5) and fewest regulation wins (15).
The Canucks fired general manager Patrik Allvin on April 17. Weeks later, president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford announced he would step down from his post.
The team responded last week by hiring Hall of Fame forwards Daniel and Henrik Sedin as co-presidents of hockey operations and naming their former teammate, Ryan Johnson, general manager.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 19, 2026.
