Nolan named Amerks VP
Ted Nolan is back with the Rochester Americans as the vice president of hockey operations.
While I think a lot of people have heard his name over the past several days, weeks or even months, I now have confirmation from several sources outside the Amerk organization.
The team itself wants to save the announcement for 1 p.m. That’s when they’re having a news conference for a “major” announcement, according to Tuesday’s email notification.
The news conference will be streamed live on DemocratandChronicle.com (barring unforeseen technical difficulties).
Nolan played for the Amerks just one season, 1984-85, but was very popular. He scored 28-34-62 in 65 games, and piled up 152 penalty minutes.
He has coached in the NHL with the Buffalo Sabres, winning NHL coach of the year honors there in 1996-97, and also with the New York Islanders.
