Mike Kitchen is one of the most popular and richest Ice Hockey Player who was born on February 1, 1956 in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada. Michael Elwin “the Kitch”, a former Canadian defenceman, is now an assistant coach with the Florida Panthers in the National Hockey League. Kitch has coached more than 2400 NHL games, including the playoffs, as of February 2016. He was instrumental in helping the Hawks achieve their longest winning streak, without losing a single game, in 2012/2013.

Mike Kitchen led a younger Blues team to a record of 21-46-15 in the 2005-2006 NHL season. The 2006-2007 season began the same, with the Blues falling to 7-17-4. After a seven-game losing streak in 2006, Kitchen was fired from his position as St. Louis Blues head coach and was replaced by Andy Murray, former Los Angeles Kings head coaching. John Davidson, Blues president, indicated that he would prefer Kitchen to continue with the team in a different capacity.

The Hawks were fresh off their first Stanley Cup victory in 49 years. Since arriving, Kitchen helped the team win two more Stanley Cups, in 2012-2013 and in 2014-2015.

Kitchen was relieved of his duties with the Blackhawks, which focused on defense and the penalty kill, on April 24, 2017 following the team’s second consecutive first-round playoff exit, this time against the Nashville Predators after a 4-0 sweep.

Kitchen was an assistant coach with the Newmarket Saints AHL in 1988-89. He was then hired by the Toronto Maple Leafs for the same position. Kitchen spent eight seasons leading them to the conference finals in 1993/94. Kitchen then moved to St. Louis Blues, where he remained until his promotion to head coach midway through the 2003-04 NHL season. They struggled, finishing 9th in the Western Conference. Kitchen was appointed head coach. Kitchen’s leadership, however, helped them to pick up their game and they went 10-7-4 to reach the playoffs.
