DeBoer will work under head coach Jon Cooper and alongside other assistant coaches Rick Tocchet of the Philadelphia Flyers and Bruce Cassidy of the Vegas Golden Knights. Also coming back is assistant coach Misha Donskov, who was an assistant under DeBoer for the Stars until leaving this off-season to join Hockey Canada in a permanent role. The Stars parted ways with DeBoer after a Western Conference Final loss to the Edmonton Oilers that involved DeBoer pulling starting goaltender Jake Oettinger mere minutes into an elimination game. Dallas exited the playoffs in the Western Conference Final each of DeBoer's three seasons at the helm and will now turn to Glen Gulutzan to lead the team moving forward. With the announcement today, Team Canada officially keeps their coaching and management the same from the Four Nations Face-Off. The management team includes Stars General Manager Jim Nill, acting as an assistant general manager.
