Since 1974 NHL Coaches have had more to look forward to on an individual basis then simply winning the Stanley Cup. Here are some NHL betting guide regarding the coveted Stanley Cup. In 1974, the Jack Adams award was created in honour of legendary Detroit Red Wings coach Jack Adams. As many hockey betting fans know, the Jack Adams award is given to the coach that impacts his team’s results the most. This last season Dave Tippett from the Phoenix Coyotes won the award after guiding his club to a playoff berth no sports wagering site could have anticipated.

Throughout its tenure as a trophy for the league’s best coach, the Jack Adams award has been won on multiple occasions by some of the best in the business. For instance, the only three time winner of the award was legendary Montreal Canadians, Toronto Maple Leafs Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils coach Pat Burns. Jacque Demers is the only coach to ever win the Jack Adams in back to back seasons.

Meanwhile in a rather intriguing feat, Jacque Lemaire, Pat Quinn and Scotty Bowman are the only three coaches to ever win the award on multiple occasions with multiple teams. Lemaire did so with the 1993 to 1994 Devils and 2002 to 2003 Wild. Quinn accomplished the feat with the Vancouver Canucks and Philadelphia Flyers, and Bowman did so with the Canadians and Red Wings.

Normally in the Jack Adams voting process, one coach wins by a landslide such as Tippett this past season. However in 2005 to 2006 season, Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff became the second Sabres coach to ever win the Jack Adams award, edging out Peter Laviolette by a single vote.

Bill Barber in 2000 to 2001 and Bruce Boudreau in 2007 to 2008 are the only two coaches to ever win the award after being named a replacement coach.
