Barry Trotz Resigns As Capitals Head Coach

In a rather shocking move, Barry Trotz has resigned from his post as head coach of the Washington Capitals.

“After careful consideration and consultation with my family, I am officially announcing my resignation as Head Coach of the Washington Capitals,” Trotz said in a statement released on Monday.

“When I came to Washington four years ago we had one goal in mind and that was to bring the Stanley Cup to the nation’s capital. We had an incredible run this season culminating with our players and staff achieving our goal and sharing the excitement with our fans. I would like to thank Mr. Leonsis, Dick Patrick and Brian MacLellan for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this great organization. I would also like to thank our players and staff who worked tirelessly every day to achieve our success,” Trotz said.

“We are obviously disappointed by Barry’s decision, but would like to thank Barry for all his efforts the past four years and for helping bring the Stanley Cup to Washington,” the team said in a statement . “Barry is a man of high character and integrity and we are grateful for his leadership and for all that he has done for our franchise.”

Trotz, whose contract was set to expire at the end of the month, is coming off leading the Capitals to a 4-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights to give the Caps their first Stanley Cup.
