Rick Bowness has taken a leave of absence for a tragic reason.
Bowness Steps Away From Hockey
The Winnipeg Jets have just announced that head coach Rick Bowness will be stepping away from hockey indefinitely. His wife, Judy Bowness, suffered a seizure and is currently in the hospital.
While Bowness is spending time with his family, assistant coach Scott Arniel will take over as the interim head coach.
Our thoughts are with Rick and Judy Bowness and their loved ones at this time. We are hoping they are able to get through this difficult period.
