The Arizona Coyotes have signed coach André Tourigny to a three-year contract extension, general manager Bill Armstrong announced Wednesday.

Tourigny has served as Coyotes coach for two seasons. Despite a 53-90-21 record amid an ongoing rebuild, Armstrong lauded Tourigny as "an excellent coach, leader and communicator who has helped us establish a tremendous culture in our dressing room. Our players like him, respect him and compete hard for him."
