[edit] Coaching Record

[edit] 2003-2004 Season

After a miserable start to the season, general manager George McPhee fired Bruce Cassidy and hired assistant Glen Hanlon to be the head coach. The rebuilding Washington Capitals went 15-28-11 under Hanlon to finish off the year.

[edit] 2005-2006 Season

With the first round pick Alexander Ovechkin, the Capitals were expected to make some noise. However the team was still very young and struggled to a final season record of 29-41-12. Despite the poor season, Glen Hanlon was guaranteed one more year to help coach a young Capitals team.

[edit] 2006-2007 Season

The 2006-07 Capitals started off right. The club was 8-5-4 by the end of November. However long losing streaks eliminated the Caps chances of making the post-season. They would miss it for the 3rd straight season, and finished off with a 28-40-14 record. Despite a losing record once again, GM McPhee allowed Hanlon to continue on coaching into the 07-08 season.

[edit] 2007-2008 Season

Over the 2007-2008 off season, George McPhee, general manager of the Washington Capitals, signed many talented players such as Michael Nylander, Tom Poti, Viktor Kozlov and the young Swedish star Nicklas Bäckström. In the beginning of the season, the Washington Capitals started off to a 3-0 start, but then the team lost 14 games and the front office replaced Hanlon with Bruce Boudreau. George McPhee stated that Hanlon had lost control of the team, so he replaced him with Boudreau, the former head coach of the AHL's Hershey Bears. After they had replaced Hanlon with Boudreau, the team has won against the Philadelphia Flyers and the Carolina Hurricanes, both high-flying teams.

He has reportedly accepted an offer by the Washington Capitals to act as a scout based in the Washington, D.C. area.

[edit] 2008-2009 Season

Hanlon was hired as head coach of the Finnish hockey team Jokerit.[2]
