LOS ANGELES — John Tortorella, who has been out of an NHL job since being fired by the Vancouver Canucks in May 2014, will coach Team USA at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. The 57-year-old Tortorella is the winningest American-born coach in NHL history with 446 victories and he led the Tampa Bay Lightning to a Stanley Cup title in 2004. But he is a surprise pick for the USA job in the eight-team tournament. Tortorella is known for his outspoken nature and tendency to quickly anger. He was suspended by the league for 15 days while coaching in Vancouver for trying to storm the Calgary Flames’ dressing room to confront their coach Bob Hartley. Tortorella said he is working on controlling his temper. — Reuters
