Babcock Returns to NHL Coaching

Mike Babcock is back in the NHL, officially named head coach of the Edmonton Oilers — a bold move after he walked away from the Blue Jackets before coaching a single game last season amid serious allegations of him viewing players’ phones. The league cleared him following its own review, citing no current reason to block his return. With over 1,300 regular-season games under his belt and a Stanley Cup win with Detroit in 2008, Babcock brings championship pedigree to a team that fired its previous coach after a playoff exit. The NHL has effectively closed the book on the controversy — now all eyes are on whether Babcock can turn the Oilers’ season around.
