		After finishing his 13-year NHL career in the spring of 2001, Tony Granato was hired as an assistant coach with the Colorado Avalanche this past June.
		Granato, 38, becomes the second U.S. head coach to be hired to an NHL job this month, but unlike San Jose’s new head coach Ron Wilson, Granato has had no previous head coaching experience at any level.
		One of the reasons that Granato was tapped as the coach was the fire and intensity he brought to the ice as a player, and that is one thing Avalanche management thinks the team has lacked so far this season.

		Tony suggested she "pull a groin or something" so she could attend, but Cammi said, No, sorry, Concordia had a tournament in Providence, and this would be her first time on the ice with the Stingers in four weeks.
