In a move that has electrified the hockey world, the Vancouver Canucks have announced the return of franchise legend Trevor Linden—this time as head coach. The Canucks have signed Linden to a stunning deal reportedly worth $9.6 million annually, marking one of the highest coaching salaries in NHL history and signaling a bold new era for the team.
Linden, a beloved figure in Vancouver, spent most of his playing career with the Canucks and remains a fan favorite for his leadership, passion, and fierce loyalty to the club. His return comes as a surprise, following years away from the ice in an executive and ambassadorial role, but insiders say he’s been preparing quietly for this moment.
“This isn’t just about hockey. It’s about heart, history, and unfinished business,” said Canucks GM Patrik Allvin. “Trevor knows what it means to wear the jersey and lead with integrity.”
Linden’s homecoming is already generating massive buzz among fans, who see him as the emotional and strategic leader capable of reviving the team’s playoff hopes. His deep understanding of the franchise and city could prove to be the spark the Canucks have long been waiting for.
