Vancouver Canucks general manager Ryan Johnson announces that head coach Adam Foote and three assistant coaches—Scott Young, Kevin Dean and Brett McLean—are relieved of their duties. Multiple outlets report the dismissals occur as the team begins a broader coaching and personnel “makeover.” CBC and Global News both state that Foote is removed from the head coaching role and that each of the three named assistants is dismissed at the same time. The Athletic adds that Foote is fired after only one season, citing his team’s performance during the 2025-26 campaign, when Vancouver finishes 32nd in the league. Across the reports, the decision is presented as part of a change in direction under the Canucks’ management, with a staff overhaul affecting the head coach and the entire assistant group named in the announcements. None of the provided sources specify who will replace the fired coaches or the timing of new hires.
