SAN JOSE, Calif.—The San Jose Sharks fired Coach David Quinn on Wednesday following two rough seasons as part of a massive rebuilding project.
General Manager Mike Grier called it a hard decision to fire Mr. Quinn after he experienced two seasons under “difficult circumstances,” but said he decided it was the best move for the franchise’s future after spending the past few days meeting with coaches, players, front office staff, and Hasso Plattner, the club’s owner.
