Stars add veteran coach Rick Bowness
by Cory Wilkins from on (#3SV74)
The Dallas Stars beefed up their coaching staff Friday, naming veteran bench boss Rick Bowness as an assistant coach.
Bowness is the latest addition to new coach Jim Montgomery's staff. He comes to Dallas after five campaigns with the Tampa Bay Lightning, who let him go in May.
The 63-year-old has been in the coaching ranks for more than three decades, including five stints as head coach with the Winnipeg Jets, Boston Bruins, Ottawa Senators, New York Islanders, and Phoenix Coyotes.
He's the Stars' latest hire since assistant coach Todd Nelson, who spent the last three seasons with the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins.
