Dave Hakstol (born July 30, 1968) is a Canadian ice hockey coach. He is the head coach for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL). A native of Warburg, Alberta, Hakstol was the head coach for Sioux City Musketeers for 4 seasons. He was also the head coach of University of North Dakota men's ice hockey team for 11 seasons. Hakstol played for the Fighting Sioux from 1989 to 1992 and in the International Hockey League for five years before becoming a coach.
Career
Dave Hakstol attended the University of North Dakota and played hockey there from 1989 to 1992. He played minor league hockey for five years, including stints with the Indianapolis Ice and Minnesota Moose. After retiring as a player, he moved to the coaching ranks with the Sioux City Musketeers. He replaced a fired head coach in the middle of their disappointing 1996–97, turned the team around, and remained for four years. He became an assistant coach with his alma mater North Dakota in 2000. In 2004, he was named head coach. In his tenure as North Dakota's head coach, he led the team to the NCAA Frozen Four seven times. Hakstol was honored with conference coach of the year awards in 2009 and 2015, and was an eight-time finalist for national coach of the year.[1]
On May 18, 2015, it was announced that Hakstol would become the Philadelphia Flyers' 19th head coach.[2] Hakstol is the first head coach to go directly from the NCAA to the NHL since 1987 (Herb Brooks from the University of Minnesota to the Minnesota North Stars).[3] Hakstol picked up his first NHL victory in the Flyers' third game of the season, a 1–0 win over the Florida Panthers.
On April 11, 2017 it was announced that Hakstol would join Jon Cooper, Gerard Gallant, and Dave King as coaches of Canada's men's national ice hockey team for the 2017 IIHF World Championship tournament.[4]
