Sheldon Keefe set to lure coach Jeremy Colliton away from the Canucks

New Jersey Devils coach Sheldon Keefe is looking to boost his coaching team and is reportedly interested in Jeremy Colliton from the Vancouver Canucks organization.

Since taking on the role with the New Jersey Devils, Sheldon Keefe has been on the lookout for coaches to support him from behind the bench. Reports suggest that he is eyeing Jeremy Colliton, who currently serves as head coach for Abbotsford Canucks to join his coaching staff.

Previously leading the Chicago Blackhawks as head coach for three years. Colliton has recently spent the two past years guiding Abbotsford Canucks in the AHL. Under his leadership they have made playoff appearances in both seasons.

Despite his experience as a head coach, Colliton lacks any background as an NHL assistant coach.

It remains uncertain whether Keefe and the Devils will be successful in persuading Colliton to leave his position, with the Canucks organization or if he will opt to continue coaching at AHL level.
