Colorado Eagles GM, Former Coach Chris Stewart Retires
After nearly two decades with the Colorado Eagles, Chris Stewart is retiring.
The franchise's first head coach has been most recently serving as the Loveland-based pro hockey team's President and General Manager.
Stewart spent 37 total years as a hockey coach/front office member.
Stewart's first tenure as Eagles coach from 2003 to 2008 resulted in a pair of Central Hockey League titles in 2005 and 2007. Stewart later returned to the Eagles bench in 2010 and spent a total of 11 season as head coach — making the playoffs in each season.
“One of the greatest honors of my life is to be associated with the Colorado Eagles and this fantastic gentleman,” said Eagles owner and CEO Martin Lind in a press release. “We all have an incredible indebtedness to this man for his tenure here and I’m so happy for Chris to enjoy some well-deserved time off.”
