Mike Babcock has resigned as head coach of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies men's hockey team.
The University announced Babcock, who joined the team in February 2021 on a two-year full-time volunteer basis, will be succeeded by Brandin Cote, who served under Babcock as an assistant coach last season.
''I'm excited for Brandin and his family. He is prepared to be a highly successful coach. I believe he will elevate the Huskies' play and profile even further. I look forward to seeing him continue down the path of what promises to be an incredible career.''
Babcock spent 17 seasons in the NHL, with the Anaheim Ducks, Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
He has a career coaching record of 700-418-183, and won the Stanley Cup with the Red Wings in 2008. Babcock also won two Olympic gold medals as head coach for Team Canada, in 2010 and 2014.
The Saskatchewan native was fired 23 games into the 2019-20 season while in his fifth season with the Maple Leafs.
Of course, it's unclear if Babcock is aiming to return to the NHL, or if he even has a future after the way things ended for him. There was rumours of interested teams who had head coach vacancies at the start of summer.
