Winnipeg’s Rick Bowness, Nashville’s Andrew Brunette and Vancouver’s Rick Tocchet were named finalists on Friday for the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s 2023-24 coach of the year.
The trophy honors the head coach who has “contributed the most to his team’s success,” voted on by members of the NHL Broadcasters’ Association.
None of the three finalists is a previous winner. Brunette finished second while with the Florida Panthers in 2021-22; Bowness and Tocchet are first-time finalists.
