Craig Berube, the highly respected head coach of the St. Louis Blues, has officially announced his resignation, citing personal reasons. Berube, who took over the reins in 2018 and led the team to its first-ever Stanley Cup championship in 2019, has decided to step away from coaching after an illustrious tenure.
In a statement released earlier today, Berube expressed gratitude to the organization, players, and fans for their unwavering support. “This decision was not easy,” he said. “However, I feel it is the right time for me to focus on my personal life and priorities outside of hockey.”
Known for his intense coaching style and ability to inspire teams under pressure, Berube leaves a legacy of determination and success. Under his leadership, the Blues were consistently competitive, marked by their unforgettable 2019 championship run.
Team management and players have expressed their heartfelt thanks to Berube, with Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong acknowledging his profound impact on the franchise. “Craig brought a winning culture to St. Louis and will always be remembered as a champion,” Armstrong stated.
The Blues will now begin their search for a new head coach as they aim to build on Berube’s remarkable legacy.
