The head coach of the University of Vermont's Men's Hockey team, who has held several different positions with NHL teams, has lost his job. UVM released a statement earlier today that said Todd Woodcroft had been let go and has been replaced by Assistant Coach Steve Wiedler. Woodcroft's dismissal had nothing to do with the team's performance.
Before becoming head coach at UVM, Woodcroft was employed by a few NHL teams for stretches of time, including as a video coach and scout with the Minnesota Wild and Washington Capitals. Woodcroft also spent time as a scout in Calgary and Los Angeles. His highest position in the NHL as been as an assistant coach with the Winnipeg Jets (2016-2020). Woodcroft has also served as an assistant coach for Belarus and Sweden at international tournaments, as well as in the KHL.
