Strange: NHL coach is said to have contacted Sharks

Innsbruck's ice hockey sharks are looking for a coach after their elimination in the pre-playoffs and the departure of Mitch O'Keefe. New names are being added every day. Rumor has it that a certain Todd McLellan has also been in touch. He earned five million dollars in 2022/23!

Since Mitch O'Keefe announced his departure, Innsbruck's Sharks have received countless inquiries. The list is now long and covers a broad spectrum. The vacant coaching position has also led to some strange developments.

World Championship gold with Canada
Todd McLellan, who was sacked in February after five years with the Los Angeles Kings, is said to have asked for an interview. The 56-year-old had previously also been head coach of the Edmonton Oilers and San Jose Sharks in the NHL and won World Championship gold with Canada in 2015.

Was someone playing a joke on the Tyroleans? Unless McLellan is tempted by the mountains. Because he has already earned more than enough money - five million dollars in 2022/23! That made him the highest-paid coach in the National Hockey League.
