The Seattle Kraken have hired Pascal Vincent as an assistant coach.
Vincent spent the last two seasons as head coach of the AHL’s Laval Rocket, leading the team to a combined record of 89-42-6-7 and back-to-back North Division titles.
He won the Louis A.R. Pieri Memorial Award as the AHL’s outstanding coach in 2024-25 – the second time in his career he has received that honor – as the Rocket captured the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy as the league’s regular-season champions before reaching the Eastern Conference Finals.
Vincent, 54, was previously head coach of the Manitoba Moose from 2016-21 and of the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets in 2023-24.
