Career

As a player

Jared Bednar played in his youth for the Saskatoon Blades , Spokane Chiefs , Medicine Hat Tigers and Prince Albert Raiders in the Western Hockey League , one of the top three Canadian junior leagues . Without being considered in an NHL Entry Draft , the defender moved to the Huntington Blizzard in the ECHL for the 1993/94 season and made his professional debut there. The following year he achieved his personal best performance of the season at Blizzard with 45 points scorer in 64 games. At the end of 1995 Bednar moved within the league to the South Carolina Stingrays , where he - with interruptions - spent the rest of his playing career. In the 1995/96 season, he completed 55 games for the St. John's Maple Leafs in the higher settled American Hockey League (AHL), while the entire 1998-99 season in the International Hockey League (IHL) in the Grand Rapids Griffins spent . He also had shorter AHL stakes with the Rochester Americans . With the Stingrays Bednar won the ECHL Playoffs in 1997 and 2001 and thus the Kelly Cup before ending his active career after the 2001/02 season.

Immediately after the end of his active career, Bednar moved to the coaching staff of the South Carolina Stingrays and acted there for five years as assistant coach under Jason Fitzsimmons . After he resigned in 2007, Bednar took over the position of head coach and won the Kelly Cup again with the team in his second year. With this success he resigned from the Stingrays and switched to the Abbotsford Heat coaching staff from the AHL as an assistant coach . After only one season with the Heat, he received his first AHL head coach post at the Peoria Rivermen at the beginning of the 2010/11 season , which he held for two years in the sequence.

In the run-up to the 2012/13 season signed a new contract with the Springfield Falcons , the farm team of the Columbus Blue Jackets from the National Hockey League (NHL). There he worked as assistant to Brad Larsen for two years before he was promoted to the coaching staff of the Blue Jackets and Bednar took over the position of head coach of the Falcons. The Canadian also kept this when the team was relocated for the 2015/16 season and henceforth operated as Lake Erie Monsters . Bednar won the AHL playoffs for the Calder Cup with the Monsters in 2016 , so his contract was extended by two years in the summer of 2016. Just under a month later, however, he was introduced as the successor to Patrick Roy at the Colorado Avalanche from the NHL. At this point, Bednar became the third youngest active NHL coach after John Hynes and Jeff Blashill .
