Confirmed with Link: Geoff Ward to Coach Mannheim in 2014-2015

[Braunbaer]

There are rumors that he'll be an assistant coach for Germany during the World Cup in Prague.

For the people who like to keep track of former Bruins:

Geoff Ward just won the Cup with Mannheim in Germany.

His team won the regular season convincingly.
They won the 3 series and lost just 3 matches in the process. (4:1, 4:0, 4:2)

They trailed in the Finals 2:1 after being absolutely crushed at home in game 3. But Ward managed to turn the series around.

He did one hell of a job.

Good for him (and, for Mannheim). Good guy and good coach.

I'd rather have Milbury than Ward.

By the way, Ward was assisted by former Bruin farmhand Mr Jay Leach (Tappen).

Agree, one hell of a coaching job this year. They probably had the most quality of all teams in the league, but that's not been unusual in the past and they haven't won in 8 years.
They were hands down the best team thru the whole year. And even in difficult sitiations (after being down 1-2 in the finals after 1 crushing defeat), the team responded well.

Too bad, I actually dislike the team even though being from Mannheim.

You're a good person. Good person!

Ward to Sacco is an overlooked reason as one of the many why this season sucked

Good point, a few key people in the front office and behind the bench graduated to bigger jobs. Tough to replace some of those guys.

I remember Avalanche fans at one point being absolutely disgusted of Sacco. Guy seems like a specialist in failure.

Marc Crawford that is all
