John Shannon and Landon Ferraro are joined by new Vancouver Canucks head coach Manny Malhotra on 100% Canucks.
Fresh off his hiring, Malhotra discusses the whirlwind first days on the job, from returning calls and messages to beginning preparations for training camp. He reflects on the coaching journey that started during the latter stages of his playing career and the influence coaches like Todd McLellan had on his development behind the bench.
Malhotra shares his philosophy on leadership, emphasizing relationships, accountability, and fundamentals as the foundation of a successful team. He also discusses the challenge of implementing systems during a shortened training camp and why building trust with players remains a priority.
The conversation also turns personal, as Malhotra prepares for a unique NHL Draft experience. With his son Caleb projected to be a top-five selection, he discusses balancing his responsibilities as Vancouver's new head coach while experiencing one of the biggest moments in his family's hockey journey.
A conversation about leadership, development, and the beginning of a new chapter for the Vancouver Canucks.
