The San Jose Sharks filled the NHL's last remaining coaching vacancy by promoting from within.
The Sharks announced Thursday that Ryan Warsofsky, 36, will be the franchise's 11th head coach. He had been an assistant coach the past two seasons and will replace fired coach David Quinn.
"His track record of success at nearly every level of hockey as a head and assistant coach speaks for itself," general manager Mike Grier said. "Ryan knows our existing group well, has the respect of the players who he will be working with and will be a great teacher for the young players who will be joining our organization."
Warsofsky oversaw the team's defense and penalty kill. Erik Karlsson won the Norris Trophy with a 101-point season during Warsofsky's first season in San Jose.
This will be Warsofsky's first time as an NHL head coach, but he had coached the American Hockey League's Chicago Wolves to a 2022 championship.
