In June 2015, who won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's coach of the year?

In June 2015, Bob Hartley won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s coach of the year. Hartley received the award after guiding the Calgary Flames during the 2014–15 season, when the team finished with a 45–30–7 record and reached the Western Conference playoffs.

The Jack Adams Award is presented annually to the head coach who has contributed most to his team’s success. It is voted on by members of the National Broadcasters’ Association, and the award is named for Jack Adams, a Hall of Fame player, coach, and general manager who spent much of his career with the Detroit Red Wings.

Hartley’s 2015 victory was his first Jack Adams Award. He was recognized for helping Calgary exceed expectations and develop a fast, aggressive identity. The Flames defeated the Vancouver Canucks in the first round of the playoffs before losing to the Anaheim Ducks. Hartley had previously coached the Colorado Avalanche, Atlanta Thrashers, and several teams in Europe, adding the NHL honor to a long international coaching career.
