Apparently July 5th is a very light day in hockey history. Today we have one from the New York Islanders and a Coach being named 16 years ago on this day. Talk about going from the frying pan into a huge torrent of fire. A coach should always be one who knows how to motivate his players. I do not think this guy ever used a shoe again.
July 05, 1995
New York Islanders named Mike Milbury as their new head coach, replacing Lorne Henning (who had been released following the 1994-95 NHL season).
