In September 2023, the Canadian ice hockey coach hit the headlines after he resigned as head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets amidst investigations into allegations of misconduct.

Babcock’s resignation comes in the wake of allegations surfacing over the past week that he violated players’ privacy when he asked to see photos on their cellphones.

“Upon reflection, it has become clear that continuing as head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets was going to be too much of a distraction,” Babcock said in the statement.

“While I’m disappointed to not have had the opportunity to continue the work we’ve begun, I know it’s in the best interest of the organization for me to step away at this time. I wish everyone in the organization well in the upcoming season.”

The Columbus Blue Jackets announced on Sunday, 17 September 2023 that Babcock resigned and that associate coach Pascal Vincent will serve as head coach.

At the time he resigned, he had spent parts of eighteen seasons as a professional and head coach in the National Hockey League.

As of September 2023, he’s the only coach to gain entry to the Triple Gold Club (Stanley Cup title, IIHF World Championship title, and Olympic gold medal in men’s ice hockey).

Babcock led Team Canada to gold at the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships in 2004; and led them to gold at both the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, and the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

He’s the only coach to win six distinct national or international titles. During his first coaching tenure from 1991–2019, Babcock’s teams missed the post-season only four times.
