Trainer’s Hammer: Is Mike Stewart returning to the ICEHL?

After his surprising release from the Grizzlys Wolfsburg, Mike Stewart could potentially return to the ICE Hockey League. As LAOLA1 reports, the Canadian is currently a hot candidate for the coaching position at the Vienna Capitals.

The 53-year-old was released from Wolfsburg’s German ice hockey league at the beginning of March. According to media reports, the decisive factor for this was a negative sporting trend after the Olympic break, which meant that Lower Saxony lost important points in the fight for a good playoff position.

Stewart is no stranger to Austria. As a player and coach, he shaped the EC VSV for years, for which he played for a total of nine seasons and later also worked behind the boards. He also gained coaching experience in today’s ICEHL (formerly EBEL) and is considered a possible candidate for a return to the league due to his past and profile.

After a mixed season, the Vienna Capitals could see changes in the coaching position in the summer. According to LAOLA1, Stewart is therefore being discussed as a possible solution.
