Obviously not a hockey example but Greg Popovich embodies what a coach should be in my opinion. Honest communicator but passionate about his players success and basically fosters a family environment. NBA teams are smaller so the NHL is a different beast, but I’ve heard players love playing for Gerard Gallant, so maybe find someone who has his style?

"A lot of coaches can yell or be nice, but what Pop does is different,” said assistant coach Chip Engelland. “He delivers two things over and over: he’ll tell you the truth, with no BS, and then he’ll love you to death.”
