Vogelhuber and Bootland Rise | Columbus Blue Jackets News

Trent Vogelhuber is climbing the ladder, named assistant coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets after four stellar seasons leading the Cleveland Monsters to three playoffs, including an Eastern Conference Finals run. Meanwhile, veteran Nick Bootland steps into the Monsters’ coaching role, bringing two Calder Cup titles from Hershey and nearly two decades of AHL/ECHL experience. Both coaches—Vogelhuber, a former Blue Jacket draft pick whose playing career was cut short by injury, and Bootland, a former Dallas Stars draft pick with 900+ games coached—bring deep ties to the organization. This strategic shakeup signals a serious commitment to nurturing talent both on and off the ice, setting the stage for long-term success for both teams.
