BILOXI, Miss. � Celebrate the Sea Wolves return to the Den with former Mississippi Sea Wolves head coaches Bruce Boudreau and Bob Woods on Tuesday, September 5 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. The dynamic duo returns to the Gulf Coast fresh from winning their second professional hockey championship together with the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League. They now have the distinction of winning both the Calder Cup and the Kelly Cup as coaches. The Mississippi Sea Wolves captured the Kelly Cup in 1999 with Boudreau as head coach and Woods the player/assistant coach.
