Good luck, Rick Bowness. Solid coach!

 

[serp]

Several health scares this year. Makes sense especially with how the Jets went out

 

[Kcb12345]

Best of luck in retirement, Rick.

Wish we could've won that Cup in 2020 but is what it is. Crazy he never won one with such a long career

 

[Dr Pepper]

Hell of a career, I wish him all the best in retirement.

 

[Satan]

A great coach and an even better man. All the best, Bones.

 

[NYR94]

Wow, he had a long career. Add Winnipeg to the list of teams looking for a new head coach.

 

[EpochLink]

Happy retirement Rick! Thanks for all you’ve done. Thanks for the 2011 run, you were a big part of that.

 

[Jacob]

I remember him losing his shit behind the Ottawa bench in the old Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em tapes.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

This was the likely result, especially after the past year. I wish him and his wife many happy & healthy years to come. He has done so much for the game and took us to the playoffs twice, I have no issue with the way he went out.

Pretty amazing he got run he did at end given when I younger he was the guy who coached those abominations in Ottawa and then the whole Isles fiasco

Would never have expected him to be a HC in NHL again let alone taking a team to SCF

 

[Zirakzigil]

Wish him all the best in retirement.

Poor guy had to suffer through the 92-93 season coaching the 10-70-4 Ottawa Senators. That alone probably took years off his life.

All joking aside, great long career and wish him a happy retirement.

 

[Three On Zero]

All the best in retirement, Bowness

 

[Moose Head]

Smart hockey guy and very well spoken. Would make for a really good in between periods analyst or colour man IMO

 

[BHD]

Good coach, and a Moncton man too. Too bad that he never hoisted the Cup

 

[lawrence]

I’m very sad he’s retiring. Him and av are owned a cup ring. Stupid refs.

 

[Jee]

Happy retirement !

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Nice to see him exit on his own terms

 

[Terry Yake]

not a surprise given his age

welcome to winnipeg craig berube

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Best of luck to him. Nothing but the utmost respect for that man.

 

[Blindsummit]

I hope you enjoy a long and healthy retirement Rick. Best wishes.

 

[Hunter368]

Great human being, decent HC but ideally is best suited as an asst coach.

 

[Mike Jones]

Now he can go enjoy his cabin in the Maritimes. He's earned the break.

 

[Summer Rose]

Best wishes to him in retirement. Decent career.
