Pierre Creamer
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Pierre Creamer (born July 6, 1944) is a Canadian former ice hockey coach.[1] He was head coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins during the 1987–88 NHL season.
Creamer was born in Chomedey, Quebec. He is the brother-in-law of former NHL star Mike Bossy.
Creamer previously coached the Sherbrooke Canadiens, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens. He led the team to a Calder Cup championship in his first year behind the bench and ended his three-year tenure with a 120-104-4 record. Creamer had also held a job as coach of the Verdun Juniors of the QMJHL.[1]
Despite coaching a Mario Lemieux-led team that finished fourth in goals scored, Creamer's 1987-88 Penguins struggled defensively and finished last in the Patrick Division. He was relieved of his position at season's end; Creamer is currently the only "one year wonder" coach in NHL history to have a winning record.[2]
