Rick Tocchet shares humble response when asked about Jack Adams Award

Last month, the National Hockey League announced that Rick Tocchet was the 2023-24 recipient of the Jack Adams Award which is handed out annually to the best coach.

In a recent interview with Daren Millard on 'The Chirp' podcast, Tocchet was asked about winning the award and he gave a very humble response, saying that he had plenty of help from others in the organization this season and that he's proud to be this season's recipient.

Tocchet, 60, joined the Vancouver Canucks in January 2023 as a replacement for Bruce Boudreau and ever since, the team has flourished under the three-time Stanley Cup champion and it's safe to say that the organization made the right decision to bring him in.

He led the Canucks to their best regular season finish in over a decade as they took home the Pacific Division title with a record of 50-23-9. Their 50 wins during the 2023-24 season are the third most in franchise history only trailing the 2010-11 (54 wins) and 2011-12 (51 wins) campaigns.
