TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — When Scotty Bowman left the Chicago Blackhawks a year ago, he was open to taking another job.

Now, the record-holding nine-time Stanley Cup winning coach is ready for his next chapter. When asked if he is now unemployed or retired, Bowman said with a smile that “I’m retired.” Still a regular at Tampa Bay Lightning home games, Bowman remains extremely popular with coaches and off-ice officials. And since he’s not affiliated with a team, Bowman can speak freely on all hockey topics.
