THIS IS THE BEST NEWS WE COULD HOPE FOR: Excitement Hits Enterprise Center as Former Head Coach Craig Berube Returns to St. Louis Blues!
In a move that has sent shockwaves of joy through the National Hockey League community, the St. Louis Blues have officially announced the return of former head coach Craig Berube — this time in a brand-new role: Senior Coaching Advisor.Cheers erupted at the Enterprise Center earlier today as fans flooded social media with the news, many calling it “the spark the Blues need” and “the beginning of a new chapter of dominance.” For a franchise looking to recapture the magic of its 2019 Stanley Cup-winning season, Berube’s return could be the rallying cry the team has been waiting for.
Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong issued a statement Friday morning:
“Craig Berube’s leadership and experience are invaluable to our organization. Bringing him back into the fold was an easy decision. His passion for the Blues, the city of St. Louis, and the game of hockey is unmatched.”
Berube, 59, coached the Blues from 2018 to 2023 and famously led the team from last place in the league to hoisting the Stanley Cup in just one season. After his departure, he remained a beloved figure in St. Louis, with fans often chanting his name during games even in his absence.
Now, as Senior Coaching Strategist and Development Advisor, Berube will work alongside the current coaching staff to support team strategy, player development, and culture-building both on and off the ice.
“It feels like coming home,” Berube said in a press conference. “This city means everything to me. I’m here to help in any way I can and do what it takes to bring another Cup back to St. Louis.”
Players are reportedly thrilled by the announcement, with captain Brayden Schenn saying, “Chief is back — you can feel the energy already. He’s the kind of guy who makes everyone better.”
With training camp just weeks away, anticipation is already building for what’s shaping up to be an unforgettable season.
