Trotz has 'lots of juice' left for next NHL gig
/The Edmonton Journal recounts Barry Trotz's recent fate with the Nashville Predators, noting he's received more than 400 text messages and 100 phone calls since being fired.
After coaching nearly 1200 games with the Preds though, the competitive fire still burns within him.
“I’m not burned out. I’ve got balance in my life with my family. My wife’s a rock. When my son (Nolan, a special-needs boy) was born, I looked at life a lot differently. I’m still competitive, for sure. My wife says I have to let the kids win once in a while,” he said with a laugh.
“But I’m ready to go on to the next challenge. I’ve got lots of juice.”
No worries for Trotz in terms of moving to a bigger hockey market.
“If you’d asked me that question 10 years ago, I’d have said I wasn’t ready. But we were in the playoffs in Nashville, there was of lot of media around,” he said.
Canada?
“It would be a lot different, more intense,” Trotz said. “But I’m not scared of anything.”
