Greg Cronin Out, New Coach Needed

Greg Cronin’s one-season stint as Iowa Wild head coach ends with a big-league move to the St. Louis Blues — a natural step for a seasoned pro in the AHL’s development pipeline. Despite a rough year marked by injuries forcing call-ups and young players into tough roles, the Wild showed late-season grit, finishing .500 in March and April. GM Matt Hendricks praised Cronin’s leadership behind the scenes, even as results fell short. Now, Hendricks seeks a new coach who can seamlessly integrate Minnesota Wild’s system and prepare players for NHL success — all while reviving playoff hockey in Des Moines, a community deeply invested in the team’s future.
