Mike Yeo Looks to Glorify Minnesota's Ice

With the exception of the Minnesota Twins, all of the major sports teams in Minnesota will be/are experiencing the transition that coincides with a new head coach.

The Vikings are 0-2 under new head coach Leslie Frazier. The Minnesota Timberwolves just hired Rick Adelman. And the Minnesota Wild... Mike Yeo. (Even the Gophers have a new boss)

Yeo has a reputation of holding a serious work ethic and pushing his players to have the same. Yeo has said this job with the Wild has been a long time coming, a story more than 20 years in the making. He started taking notes on coaching over two decades ago and has finally landed his goal position: an NHL head coach.

Yeo is looking to bring a strong defensive system to the Wild, applying tough pressure to the puck, forcing their opponents to think quickly - forcing erros. He recognizes there may be no quick fix for a team three years out of the playoffs, but is striving to bring glory back to the ice of Minnesota.

I Like This New Head Coach

I don't know about anyone else, but Mike Yeo is growing on to me. At first, I was a little skeptical. I didn't like that he didn't really have any experience being a head coach in the NHL, or much experience at all coaching in the NHL. I really like that he went to Finland to meet with Niklas Backstrom and Mikko Koivu. That's an excellent plan of attack. It shows those two players how much Yeo thinks of them. Also, if he wants this team to get behind him, he's going to need the support of his best players. Without their support, he has pretty much no chance of getting the rest of the team to buy into what he's telling them. So great job by Yeo, you're really starting to get my stamp of approval.

The Minnesota Wild have Finally Hired a New Coach

Hey everyone the Minnesota Wild have finally hired a new coach. This past friday, they hired Mike Yeo as the new head coach of the team. In my opinion, this was a pretty spotty decision. They probably should have hired someone who knew a thing or two more about coaching an NHL team. This guy has no experience.

Butttt, it will also be a lot of fun to see what he can do. I hope he turns out to be a great coach and that the Wiild get their mojo back.
