The president and general manager of the Vancouver Canucks, PAT QUINN, stepped down as coach of the team yesterday, turning the job over to his chief aide, RICK LEY. The announcement did not come as a surprise. In June, after the Rangers defeated the Canucks in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final, Quinn said he intended to quit coaching. Around the same time, Ley, an assistant coach for the last three years, said he would be head coach somewhere in hockey this season, even if it meant leaving Vancouver.

Ley said yesterday that he is excited about his new responsibilities. "In the past three seasons, we created a solid foundation and it's my objective to continue to build on that foundation and hopefully take it one step higher than we did last season." (AP)
