EVERETT — The Everett Silvertips are expected to name Craig Hartsburg as their new coach at a news conference at 12:30 p.m. today at Comcast Arena.

Hartsburg played 10 years in the NHL and has been a head coach in the league for seven seasons, including 48 games with the Ottawa Senators last season.

The Silvertips fired coach John Becanic after the team went 27-36-7-2 and was eliminated in the first round of the Western Hockey League playoffs last March.

Notes
