Tom McVie dies
Former NHL coach and longtime Bruins scout Tom McVie has passed away at the age of 89, the team announced Monday. McVie played 18 seasons with various minor league clubs from 1956 to 1974, then was the head coach of the Capitals, Jets and Devils for parts of nine seasons from 1975 to 1992.
McVie began his NHL career behind the bench in a tough situation, taking over Washington's bench midway through their second season in the league. He was tasked with putting together one of the worst rosters in league history, a roster that had finished 8-67-5 in their expansion season and posted just eleven wins in its second year. While he understandably didn't make the playoffs in any of his three seasons in Washington, he did bring the team out of embarrassment and was behind the bench for a 24-win season in 1976-77.
After being let go by the Caps after the 1977-78 season, McVie left for the World Hockey Association to take over Winnipeg's bench midway through their final season before the NHL-WHA merger. He led the Jets to an 11-8-0 record to end the season before upsetting both the Nordiques and Oilers to win the final Avco Cup championship, with a roster that included future NHL All- Stars were included.Morris LukowichAndKent Nilsson.
McVie remained with Winnipeg after the merger, but was fired 28 games into the 1980-81 season after the team compiled a 1-20-7 record. He then moved on to the Devils organization, where he would serve as an AHL coach for many years, but suffered a few cracks during the NHL head coaching gig in the 1983-84, 1990-91 and 1991-92 campaigns. Boston picked McVie up as an assistant coach the following season, and after going through a few different roles, they made him a pro scout in 1998. He served in that role until his retirement after the 2019-2020 season.
We at Pro Hockey Rumors extend our condolences to McVie's family, friends and colleagues.
