After the Vancouver Canucks chose not to pick up the option on Rick Tocchet's contract for the 2025-26 season, they tried to get a new deal done, but that never materialized. Now the two sides are going their separate ways, and Tocchet released a statement on the split.

The Pittsburgh Penguins officially parted ways with head coach Mike Sullivan on Monday morning, ending a 10-year run that saw the team win back-to-back Stanley Cups and more than 400 regular-season wins.

The team announced it was parting ways with the two-time Stanley Cup winning coach just over a week after the Penguins missed out on the playoffs for a third straight season.
