Doug MacLean

Doug MacLean

Douglas MacLean, (born April 12, 1954 in Summerside, Prince Edward Island) is a Canadian sportscaster and former ice hockey coach and general manager. He is the former president/general manager and head coach of the National Hockey League's Columbus Blue Jackets and was also the head coach of the Florida Panthers.

Career

MacLean began coaching at the University of New Brunswick, followed by assistant coach positions with the St. Louis Blues and Washington Capitals. MacLean's first professional head coach position came in 1990, when he was sent to the Baltimore Skipjacks, the Capital's AHL affiliate, as part of a midseason shakeup that placed Skipjacks head coach Terry Murray at the Capitals' helm.

MacLean served in the Detroit Red Wings organization from 19901994. During this time, he served as an assistant coach under Bryan Murray in 199091 and 199192. For the 199293 and 199394 seasons, MacLean served as the General Manager for the Adirondack Red Wings of the American Hockey League, the Red Wings top affiliate. During his time as GM, he orchestrated the trade of Kris Draper from the Winnipeg Jets to the Red Wings for $1.

MacLean is probably best known for leading an up-start Panther team, to the Eastern Conference crown in 1996, only to be swept in the Stanley Cup Final (four games to none) by the Colorado Avalanche.

After leading the Panthers to the playoffs in both the 199596 and 199697 seasons, MacLean was fired early in the 199798 campaign when the Panthers started with a 7124 record.

MacLean was hired to serve as the Blue Jackets' GM on February 11, 1998, and added the position of team president to his responsibilities a month later. The Blue Jackets began play for the 200001 NHL season. On January 7, 2003 MacLean fired Blue Jackets head coach Dave King and took over as interim head coach, a position he held until January 1, 2004, when he promoted assistant coach Gerard Gallant to the role. MacLean remained president and general manager until he was fired at the conclusion of the 200607 season.[1] The Blue Jackets never posted a winning record, going 17225862 under MacLean's leadership.

On August 7, 2007, it was announced that a group of investors headed by MacLean had bought the Tampa Bay Lightning. However, the deal fell apart during the 200708 season.

On August 18, 2008, MacLean became a co-host alongside Jack Armstrong on a sports talk radio show on Toronto Sports Radio Station, The Fan590, "The Game Plan".

On September 18, 2009, MacLean took over the Hockey Central Radio program from 1-2pm and was hired by Jim Balsillie as an advisor to the PSE group which is trying to acquire and relocate the Phoenix Coyotes.

On September 13, 2010, MacLean became a co-host of the Fan 590's Hockey Central at Noon program alongside Greg Brady & Nick Kypreos as well as an analyst on Rogers Sportsnet's Hockey Central.
