"Mike Babcock Makes NHL Comeback as Columbus Blue Jackets' New Coach"

Mike Babcock has returned to the NHL as the coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets after nearly four years out of a pro job. Babcock, who won the Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings in 2008, expressed confidence in his evolution as a coach and his readiness to adjust to modern players. The Blue Jackets hope that Babcock's experience and coaching achievements will help the team become a contender again in the Eastern Conference. Babcock's reputation took a hit in recent years due to stories about his coaching techniques, but he claims to have learned from his time away from the NHL and is focused on effective communication with his players.
