dagies Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 From today's Herald: Gasparini believes Tippett will be successful in Dallas Gino Gasparini said he wasn't surprised Thursday when he learned that Dave Tippett was named head coach of the National Hockey League's Dallas Stars. Gasparini was the head coach at UND in the 1980s, when Tippett was one of his star forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Congrats to Dave. I understand that Craig Ludwig will leave/has left the Stars staff though. Tippett helped gear up the Kings' into an offense oriented unit. I'd expect he would do the same at Dallas which was yoked to Hitchcock's defensive scheme. Of course, it makes you wonder if some of the Flyers' forwards will look to jump ship rather than playing clutch 'n grab or a picket defense setup.

dagies Posted May 17, 2002 Author Share Posted May 17, 2002 About Ludwig, is that because of Tippett, or for other reasons...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Not sure on the reasons for Ludwig leaving, it was just part of the newswire I saw shortly after it became clear that Tippett would head up the Stars. It may have just been a general "changing of the guard" that accompanies most coaching changes. I'd guess Ludwig will probably find another job in the NHL, or maybe a top job in the ECHL/AHL, pretty quickly as that seems to be his track and he's got a pretty solid background in the game.
