Jay McKee Lands Behind The Bench In Hamilton

Jay McKee has a new bench to run, and that usually means somebody believes his voice still plays in a room. The move gives Hamilton a coach with NHL baggage, which is front-office code for “he has seen things and won’t blink.” This is the kind of hire that can change the temperature of a team fast if the message lands early. Hamilton is betting McKee can bring structure, edge and a little credibility that every locker room notices immediately.
