The New Jersey Devils have a large alumni section in coaching staffs around the world. In the NHL, there are more than a dozen former Devils who are assistant coaches, including John MacLean, John Madden, Jay Leach, Tuomo Ruutu, Kirk Muller, and Sergei Brylin. In college, Jay Pandolfo is one of the best coaches, leading Devils prospect Mikhail Yegorov at Boston University. However, there are a few players who went back to their home country to coach there.
This includes Marek Zidlicky, who has been coaching the Czechia Olympic team, among other national teams. He plays under Radim Rulik, and it turns out, he may be doing the same thing with a new team.
