Source: Aeros' Yeo to be named Wild coach
MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday on
condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the hire.
Yeo will be the third coach in club history. He led the Wild's
top farm club in Houston to the American Hockey League finals this
season, his only year as coach of the Aeros. Yeo will replace Todd
Richards, who was fired after two years without a playoff
appearance.
The 37-year-old Yeo spent five seasons as an assistant coach
with the Pittsburgh Penguins, including their Stanley Cup
championship in 2009.
Twin Cities radio station KFAN-AM first reported Yeo's hire.
