Inside the Jets’ Room: Scott Arniel on Coaching, Chemistry, and Confidence.

Scott Arniel , head coach of the Winnipeg Jets , joins John Shannon and Daren Millard on 100% Hockey to reflect on his path behind the bench and the evolution of coaching in today’s NHL. Arniel looks back on his early days in Cornwall , his stops in Columbus and Winnipeg , and how his approach to communication and relationship-building with players has changed over the years. He also discusses the Jets’ season so far — from managing injuries and lineup adjustments to Connor Hellebuyck’s steady play in goal — and shares his perspective on Jonathan Toews’ integration into the group. The conversation closes with insights into how NHL coaching has evolved, both on the ice and in the locker room, as Arniel continues shaping the Jets’ identity in a demanding Central Division.
