Stars announce changes to coaching staff | Dallas Stars
Bowness stepping away as head coach effective immediately; assistants Stevens, Laxdal and Nelson will not return next season
www.nhl.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent public reporting:
- As of mid-2025, Pete DeBoer was fired as head coach of the Dallas Stars after leading the team to three Western Conference Final appearances but failing to reach the Stanley Cup Final. The organization indicated it was time for a new voice behind the bench. [Source: LastWordOnSports article on the firing; corroborating details appear in multiple outlets from June 2025][1]
- Glen Gulutzan was reported to be a leading candidate and later named the Stars’ head coach, succeeding DeBoer after the coaching change. [Sources indicate hiring around July 2025; NBCDFW and Hockey News coverage note Gulutzan’s appointment and the context][5][7]
- Other sources around that period referenced ongoing changes in the Stars’ coaching staff and the broader search process, including rumors and formal announcements from team and league outlets.[4][8]
If you’d like, I can pull the most current updates from the Stars’ official site and major sports outlets to confirm who is currently the head coach and provide a concise timeline of announcements. I can also summarize any recent press conferences or interviews with the Stars’ front office.
Would you like me to compile a fresh, cited snapshot with the exact latest name and date?
