Bednar led the Avalanche to the Stanley Cup in 2022.

He has been the coach in Colorado since the 2016-17 season, when he took over after Patrick Roy left the franchise and oversaw a team that went from worst to first in the NHL in six years.

Bednar is the only coach to have won the Kelly Cup (ECHL), AHL (Calder Cup), and Stanley Cup is his career.
