Scott Gordon Steps Down as Isles Coach!
Uniondale, NY - In a surprising move, after only one year with the team, head coach Scott Gordon as stepped down from his position. Gordon cited that he couldnt deal with the teams current management and the abundance of pressure in this head coaching position.
However the real story is who Scott Gordon was replaced by. Garth Snow is going out on a very thin limb by hiring a very unknown coach in Ken Plotzke.
"This just felt like the right move. This is a very young hckey team, and I felt like they needed a head coach who they can relate to." said Islanders GM Garth Snow.
"It was my dream to be in the NHL. I didnt have what it took to play in the league, but I know I have what it takes to be a coach in this league. I look to bring this team and organization back to where it should be, on top. My first action as head coach will be to name a team captain, as we currently dont have one on the team" - New head coach, Ken Plotzke
