1994: Stanley Cup Champion Head Coach Mike Kennan Quits
Thirty-one days after coaching the New York Rangers to their first Stanley Cup championship in 54 years, Mike Keenan quits his job, saying at a news conference in Toronto that he's leaving with four years remaining on his contract because of a "breach of contractual obligations." He declines to discuss the specifics of those obligations. Two days later, he's named coach and general manager of the St. Louis Blues. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman settles the issue a few days later by approving a trade that sends center Petr Nedved to the Rangers for forward Esa Tikkanen and defenseman Doug Lidster, allowing Keenan to stay with the Blues.
