University of Saskatchewan (U of S) Huskies Chief Athletics Officer Dave Hardy is a firm believer in one of Wayne Gretzky’s most famous lines: “You miss 100 per cent of the shots you don’t take.”
Hardy applied those words of wisdom when searching for a successor to lead the men’s hockey program. Long-time head coach Dave Adolph departs as the winningest coach in the history of Canadian men’s university hockey after 27 years.
Leading the search for a new hire, Hardy reached out to Mike Babcock. Babcock was one of the most decorated coaches still active in the sport, and Hardy said he was not expecting much but you gotta shoot your shot, right?
