Paul Maurice is in the Sunshine State, revelling in the rays of the Stanley Cup, but part of his heart clearly remains in Winnipeg.
Maurice, who is second on the NHL’s all-time games coached list, had never before won Lord Stanley’s mug, though he had been in the final dance.
He got Carolina to the title series in 2002, but the Hurricanes lost in five games to the Detroit Red Wings.
Maurice joined the Jets in January 2014, replacing the fired Claude Noël as head coach, and led them the following season to their first playoff appearance since relocating from Atlanta.
In 2017–18, Maurice guided the Jets to the furthest they have ever been in the post-season, taking them to the Western Conference Finals before they lost to the Vegas Golden Knights.
Maurice stepped down in December 2021, telling reporters at a news conference that he loved the team but it was time to move on.
