“I actually really enjoyed playing for him. He’s a really well-respected coach. He’s had a ton of success around the NHL, dating back to even his time in Calgary,” Stecher said. “He was someone I came in and kind of heard a lot of different things from some of the players there that were former teammates, and he was someone I respected. It was a coach I like playing for. He was my style of coach. We got along great, so obviously, it’s tough to see him go, but it’s part of the business.”

“I’m a player that works hard and keeps my mouth shut, and he’s a coach that really respects that and expects the best out of you. And if you’re gonna pout and you’re gonna complain, which I don’t think I do as an individual, then you’re obviously going to hear from him. So he’s someone that I respect,” Stecher said. “The fact that if you work hard, he’s going to give you an opportunity, and that’s exactly what he gave me in Calgary. He gave me a great opportunity to play an important role for our team on the third pair and a lot of meaningful minutes, so I really enjoyed my time with him.”
