Icon42 Blues hire former Stars coach Jim Montgomery as assistant

it was a huge story back in fall 2019 when Montgomery was fired by the Stars for "unprofessional conduct" which apparently included alcohol abuse. but now, after telling the media after his firing that he was determined to get healthy again and back into coaching, Montgomery is back in the league. glad to see him back on his feet!

hope all goes well!

Wish him all the best in his recovery, and return to coaching.

How about that. This is a really solid signing; I have always been a big fan of Montgomery's and hope he can get his career back on track. This looks like a great first step.

Not surprised he got a job as an assistant. Honestly not a fan of the guy although he can coach. I have heard about his reputation at DU and I hope for his family’s sake he is on track to cleaning up his life.

Yeah, there was pretty much zero chance of working as a HC right away.
