The Peoria Rivermen of the International Hockey League have named former Salt Lake Golden Eagle Paul MacLean as their new head coach.
MacLean, an 11-year NHL veteran, was a rookie right wing on Salt Lake's 1980-81 team that won the Central Hockey League championship (Adams Cup). Fresh off the Canadian Olympic team that year, he scored 36 goals and 42 assists in 80 regular-season games and 11 goals in 17 playoff games.
