The Canucks announced on Tuesday that Rick Tocchet has decided not to return as head coach for the upcoming season. The 61-year-old Tocchet just completed the final season of a three-year contract, and the team owned a club option for 2025-26, but Vancouver announced last week that they chose not to exercise it. Were you surprised Rick Tocchet stepped away from the Canucks? TSN Canucks reporter Farhan Lalji joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss.

Farhan always sensationalizing things. Toc said it was a personal decision and he didnt even touch on it, instead choosing to speculate on the drama.
He doesn't want to coach a baby in Petterson.
Wished he'd take me with him. Not only our team sucks but the rain sucks also
Canucks Dumpster fire is roaring hot 🔥
4th head coach in 4 years, I believe
great move! too much drama!
good luck searching new caoch
What a tire fire this organization remains starting from the worst owner on down
PHILADELPHIA OR PITTSBURGH
Not surprised at all. From a stellar performance last year down the rabbit hole this year courtesy of the dysfunctional management team. The prez and the GM couldn't solve serious player issues, and the team lost their season as a result. And there was no real indication that the problems would be addressed successfully for the next season. Hoping EP40 could get his act together? Hoping? SMH.
The fans are stepping away to
Canucks dont actually wanna win and that’s why fans hate the owner , cant even manage to give the players a practice facility. Clown
0:31 Tocchet probably won’t say publicly the true reason or reasons he chose to become a former Canucks head coach. That said, I do believe the disfunction on the roster, from choices made by management, played at least somewhat of a role.
well… Canada is going down the toilet…but at least there's some good news today… high hockey IQ fans know Tocchet isn't a very good head coach….good guy, good player, but doesn't have the savvy or IQ that makes a good coach … and for those dumb fans who belch out the Jack Adams argument…take your low hockey IQ elsewhere
Seattle has a longer, brighter NHL future than Vancouver.
Ownership has an absolute terrible reputation in this city for how they operate their businesses, like Trump level so I doubt the Canucks are any different. They are property developers so there is no excuse for a lack of a practice facility.
Made too much fading the nucks
Trevor Linden knows how screwed up Vancouver is . Wtg Rick get out of this gong show of an organization .
Canucks viewership has declined. Won’t be surprised they end the team & relocate.
That's Quinn Hughes out the door then.
I'm not surprised at all Canucks management let the miller and petterson situation go on for far to long. Bosser saying he is most likely gone and petterson didn't play didn't improve after the trade Canucks made the wrong decision trading jt miller. As of July 1st petterson no move clause kicks in Canucks are stuck with him.
Jackpot he lleaves
It is very likely Tocchet will end up in Philly.
a few reasons why the canucks are a mess….
*one of only two teams in the nhl without a practice facility, the other being calgary and they'll resolve this by 2028 with their new stadium.
*coaches in this city are like a carousel ride, either they get fired or don't want to resign here.
*aquallini needs to go, i hope fans that go to games bring signs and chant their displeasure with him, or better yet don't goto games at all so he gets the message.
*quinn is as good as gone, there's no way he wants to be here, he wanted toch back…
Quinn on Tocchet: "Hes an amazing coach. Hes been amazing for me and a lot of guys. Thats a guy you want to compete, play for. Last year he won the JackAdams and this year I think hes been even better. Whatever he does its his decision. Obviously Id like to have him back. And I think he knows that."
