Jon Cooper’s journey from Wall Street to coaching the Tampa Bay Lightning is a remarkable tale of following one’s passion and seizing unexpected opportunities. Initially pursuing a career in law, Cooper found himself drawn to coaching through an offer to lead a high school hockey team. From there, he steadily climbed the coaching ranks, eventually landing a role with the Lightning.

Cooper’s diverse background, including experience as a securities trader and public defender, provided him with a unique perspective and skill set that he has successfully applied to coaching hockey. His ability to communicate effectively and negotiate deals served him well both on and off the ice.

Despite not initially envisioning a career in the NHL, Cooper’s dedication to coaching and love for the game propelled him to the top of his profession. His journey serves as an inspiration for aspiring coaches and demonstrates the importance of seizing opportunities and pursuing one’s passions.

As he faces off against his friend and fellow coach Jeff Blashill, Cooper’s Lightning team is navigating challenges, including injuries to key players. However, with his determination and coaching acumen, Cooper remains focused on leading his team to success in the playoffs.

It seems that over the last couple of years, the Tampa Bay Lightning have done everything right, with the rather gargantuan exception of winning a Stanley Cup. Well, by wisely signing coach Jon Cooper to an extension with two weeks to go before the playoff tournament begins, they’ve given themselves an even better chance of reaching that one accomplishment.

Why? Because it simply checks off yet another box in a season in which the Lightning have checked off almost all of them. The uncertainty surrounding Barry Trotz’s future obviously did not hurt the Washington Capitals during their playoff run last spring, but by signing Cooper, the Lightning have completely removed any level of doubt surrounding their head coach. By signing him to a three-year deal worth between $3.5 million and $4 million a year, which is believed to be the terms, the Lightning not only rid themselves of any uncertainty, but they got themselves a huge bargain.
