Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar accomplished quite a feat Sunday night when he finally got his hands on his first Stanley Cup. With this honor, the 50-year-old can now boast of having completed the triple crown of winning the Championship in all three of North America's major hockey leagues.
After six seasons at the helm, Bednar will have finally managed to get his hands on the precious trophy. The GM's patience with his coach finally paid off, as opportunities to fire him were present during that time. The club's playoff failures under Bednar did not get the better of him, however, and we can see the results today.
