Career

During his junior years, Dineen studied at the University of Denver and played for their ice hockey team. In the 1982 NHL Entry Draft , the Hartford Whalers selected him in the third round as 56th. Before moving to professional hockey, he played for a year with the Canadian national ice hockey team , which at the end of the season took part in the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo .

He started the 1984/85 season in the AHL with the Binghamton Whalers and drew attention to himself with 15 goals in 25 games. Soon the Whalers brought him to Hartford, where he was able to assert himself straight away. The Whalers were a very young team at the time and next to him were four players with Ron Francis , Ray Ferraro and Sylvain Turgeon at the top of the team's scorer list in the 1985/86 season , who were not older than 22 years. The young attackers brought the Whalers into the playoffs. Thanks to good performances, he was also in the Rendez-vous '87 series in the squad of the NHL selection. In the following two years he played in the NHL All-Star Game .

After 16 games in the 1991/92 season , the Whalers gave him in exchange for Murray Craven from the Philadelphia Flyers . Here his father Bill Dineen worked as a trainer. From the 1993/94 season he was team captain in the team around the young star Eric Lindros .

During the 1995/96 season he returned to the Hartford Whalers and soon became the team captain as a leader. He then moved with the Whalers in 1997 and played two seasons for the Carolina Hurricanes .

He joined the Ottawa Senators as a free agent for the 1999/2000 season . Since this did not protect him after the end of the season for the NHL Expansion Draft 2000 , the Columbus Blue Jackets took the chance and signed the veteran. As the oldest player in the new team's squad, he still played two seasons. Even at the beginning of the 2002/03 season he was still in the squad, but after four games he announced his retirement.

His two brothers Gord and Peter also played in the NHL.

From 2005 to 2011 he coached the Portland Pirates in the AHL. Like his father in 1985 and 1986, Kevin Dineen won the Louis AR Pieri Memorial Award for the league's best coach in 2006 . On June 1, 2011, the Canadian was introduced as the head coach of the Florida Panthers . He was laid off in November 2013 after a sustained downward trend and replaced by the interim solution Peter Horachek .

With the Canadian women's national team , he won the gold medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics . In July 2014, he was introduced by the Chicago Blackhawks as their new assistant coach. With the Blackhawks, he won the Stanley Cup in the 2015 playoffs before being fired in November 2018 along with head coach Joel Quenneville .

On July 15, 2019 Dineen as the new head coach was San Diego Gulls - the AHL farm team of the Anaheim Ducks presented -.
