"There was no plan."
People said he couldn't make it to the NHL. Now he's the head coach of the Utah Mammoth and one of the longest-tenured head coaches in the league.
In this episode of Break the Ice presented by Delta, we go home with Utah Mammoth Head Coach André Tourigny to Nicolet, Quebec, the small town where it all started.
Walk the streets he grew up on, hear from the people who knew him before the NHL, and find out how a coach nobody expected to make it got here.
