Report: Comets’ Green To Coach NHL’s Canucks

It looks like Utica Comets head coach Travis Green is being called up to the NHL.

Green, 46, played 14 NHL seasons and coached the Western Hockey League's Portland Winterhawks to a WHL championship before becoming coach of the Comets.

In four seasons with Utica, Green's Comets made two playoff appearances and had a combined record of 155-110-39-12.

The Canucks are coming off back to back seasons without a playoff appearance. They fired coach Willie Desjardins earlier this month.
