BlueJackets.com Q&A: John Madden
- Updated: September 15, 2016
John Madden was hired as head coach of the Cleveland Monsters on Aug. 29.
Not familiar with the name, or at least, the hockey version of the name? Madden is a three-time Stanley Cup winner and brings 13 years of NHL playing experience to the table, and will be a valuable asset for the Blue Jackets’ young players in Cleveland.
Madden logged 898 regular season games in his career with four different teams (New Jersey, Chicago, Minnesota, Florida) and won the Selke Trophy as the NHL’s best defensive forward in 2000-01.
He makes his Blue Jackets coaching “debut” this week in Traverse City, where he’ll serve as head coach for the Columbus side which has won the last two NHL Prospects Tournament titles. His Cleveland assistants, Toby Petersen and Steve McCarthy, will be alongside.
We caught up with Madden to talk about his new job, what he can bring to the table for the defending Calder Cup champions, and more.
