Scott Arniel promoted from associate to head coach of the Winnipeg Jets
WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets have named Scott Arniel as head coach.
He replaces Rick Bowness, who retired after the Jets were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Colorado Avalanche.
The 61-year-old Arniel joined the Jets as an associate coach when Bowness was hired in July 2022.
Bowness and his staff led the Jets to the post-season in back-to-back seasons, but Winnipeg was eliminated in the first round both times.
