The fans who wildly cheer the team wanted Dale Hunter back. So did the players, firmly convinced that his way is the right way. Officials in the organization wanted Hunter back, too, enamored with his firm hand and no-nonsense approach.
And all of those folks were overjoyed Monday because Hunter decided to return … to London, Ontario.
More than the London Knights‘ fans, players and employees, Hunter thrilled his closest loved ones as well. Ultimately, the Washington Capitals‘ coaching gig was no match for Hunter’s connection to his family, farm and Ontario Hockey League franchise about 57 miles from the Hunters’ hometown.
“It was a tough decision to make but it’s still the right thing for me and my family,” Hunter said Monday. “It’s a family business, and I’ll do anything that’s best for the business.”
