BREAKING: Bruce Cassidy's Coaching Team Receives a Significant Boost

Joel Ward, aged 42, boasts an extensive background both as a player and a coach.

Having served as an assistant coach for the Henderson Silver Knights (AHL) in the past three seasons, Ward brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his new role.

Prior to embarking on his coaching career, Ward enjoyed a successful NHL journey from 2006 to 2018, amassing an impressive 726 games, 133 goals, and 304 points with teams such as Minnesota, Nashville, Washington, and San Jose.

On the other hand, Dominique Ducharme, aged 50, joins the Golden Knights following his tenure as the head coach of the Montreal Canadiens from 2020 to 2022.

Ducharme's leadership skills were on full display as he guided the Canadiens to the Stanley Cup Final in 2021, demonstrating his ability to steer a team towards success on the grandest stage of the sport.

With Ducharme and Ward on board, the Vegas Golden Knights are poised to elevate their game to new heights and strive for continued excellence.
