Default Bob Hartley named head coach of the Latvian National Team

Mark Spector @SportsnetSpec
Bob Hartley set to sign as head coach of Latvian Hockey Fed. Chosen over Patrick Roy & Ron Rolston. 1st report, LAT journalist @A_Kalnins,

also if you want some more controversy, according to Alvin Kalnins Hartley prefered another player at the 2012 draft:

Aivis Kalniņš ‏@A_Kalnins
Funny - Nolan was a huge Girgensons fan, Bob Hartley, wanted Zemgus to be a flame.

Good for Bob, glad he found work fairly quickly.

I'm fine with us picking Janko over Girgensons.

I saw this on the front page of the forum and I half-expected it to say 'Golden Knights'.

A full time NHL head coach should have no voice at the draft table. Their viewings would be limited, at best.

Congrats on the gig though.

Do we have a single Latvian CP member? There are definitely Finns and Swedes.

Yeah, I doubt Hartley was pandering to his audience at all with that comment.

Good for him.

Latvians are the best hockey fans on the planet when it comes to in-game experience. By far. Drums, chants, booze, you name it.
