Vincent, 51, has a wealth of coaching experience outside of the NHL level having coached in the QMJHL and AHL for long periods of time, earning high honours for his work at both levels.
Most recently Vincent was the head coach of the Manitoba Moose from 2016-2021.
It looks like this may have been in the works for some time as it isn't usual for a coach to step down and another one to take his place right away.
