The Vancouver Canucks hope their new head coach will provide the foundation required to improve the team’s Stanley Cup odds at the BetMGM sportsbook.
So, who will lead the Canucks’ new era, how much will he earn, and how much experience does he have?
Who Is the Vancouver Canucks Head Coach?
The Canucks head coach is Manny Malhotra. The former centre enjoyed a 17-year career before pivoting to coaching.
His coaching career started in 2016-17 as the Canucks development coach, a position he held for one season.
He was then appointed the team’s assistant coach, a role he held for three seasons before moving to Toronto to take on the same role with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
After four seasons with the Maple Leafs, he became the Abbotsford Canucks head coach. He remained the head coach of the AHL team for two seasons, winning the Calder Cup in 2024-25.
The Canucks named Malhotra head coach on June 1, 2026.
What Is Manny Malhotra’s Salary?
While head coaches’ salaries aren’t readily available, he should be earning between $1.5 and $2.5 million per season. That’s the benchmark for first-time NHL head coaches.
