Career

Terry Simpson played active ice hockey, so he completed 35 games in the Eastern Hockey League for the Jacksonville Rockets in the 1964/65 season , but did not pursue this career in the episode. In the 1972/73 season he took over the position of head coach for the Prince Albert Raiders , a junior team from the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League . He looked after the team for almost 14 years and moved with her for the 1982/83 season to the higher-ranking Western Hockey League (WHL). There he was awarded the Dunc McCallum Memorial Trophy as coach of the year in 1984 and 1986 , but celebrated his greatest success with the Raiders in the 1984/85 season when he won the team for the Ed Chynoweth Cup of the WHL playoffs and then for the prestigious Memorial Cup led. As a now established junior coach , he also stood behind the gang at the Junior World Championships in 1985 and 1986 for the Canadian junior national team and won a gold and a silver medal with them. Players he coached while in Prince Albert include James Patrick , Dave Tippett , Brad McCrimmon , Greg Paslawski and Emanuel Viveiros , among others .

For the 1986/87 season Simpson succeeded in changing to the National Hockey League (NHL) when he succeeded Al Arbor with the New York Islanders . In his first NHL season, he led the team into the second playoff round, but failed there because of the Philadelphia Flyers . After another year, he was fired during the 1988/89 season after the Islanders won only 7 of 27 games. The Canadian then returned to the Prince Albert Raiders for one season before being hired as an assistant coach by the Winnipeg Jets in 1990 . He held this position for three years before he took over an NHL team as head coach for the second time in 1993 with the Philadelphia Flyers. There he was relieved of his duties after a season without playoff participation and replaced by Terry Murray .

As a result, Simpson resumed his work as assistant coach at the Winnipeg Jets, where he was installed during the 1994/95 season as the successor to head coach John Paddock . He looked after the Jets in their final NHL season before the team was relocated to Phoenix in 1996 , while this was also his last NHL season as head coach. He then worked for two years as an assistant coach with the Toronto Maple Leafs and returned for one season in the WHL when he coached the Red Deer Rebels in 1998/99 . After all, the Canadian was active as a scout for the newly formed Minnesota Wild in 1999/2000 , before serving as an assistant coach at the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the 2000/01 season and then retiring from ice hockey. In total, Simpsons had been the head coach behind the gang in 394 games in the NHL.
