[edit] Coaching record

[edit] 2003–04 season

After a miserable start to the season, Capitals general manager George McPhee fired head coach Bruce Cassidy and promoted assistant Glen Hanlon to head coaching duties. The rebuilding Washington Capitals went 15–28–11 under Hanlon to finish off the year.

[edit] 2005–06 season

Led by 2004 first-round pick Alexander Ovechkin, the Capitals were expected to make some noise. However the team was still very young and struggled to a final record of 29–41–12. Despite the poor season, Glen Hanlon was guaranteed one more year as coach of a now more experienced Capitals team.

[edit] 2006–07 season

The 2006–07 Capitals compiled an 8–5–4 mark by the end of November. However long losing streaks eliminated the Caps' chances of making the post-season. They would miss it for the 3rd straight season, finishing 28–40–14. Despite a losing record once again, George McPhee stuck with Hanlon going into the 2007–2008 season.

[edit] 2007–08 season

Over the 2007 offseason, George McPhee signed many talented players including Michael Nylander, Tom Poti, Viktor Kozlov and young Swedish star Nicklas Bäckström, elevating expectations in Washington. In the season's first week, the Capitals jumped to a 3–0 record but went on to lose 15 of the next 18 games (3–14–1), which lead to Hanlon's dismissal as head coach. McPhee stated that Hanlon had lost control of the team, so he elected to replace Hanlon with Bruce Boudreau, the head coach of the AHL's Hershey Bears^[2]. Immediately after Hanlon's exit, the Capitals won against the high-flying Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes. The team finished 37–17–7 the rest of the way in 2007–2008, notching their first division title since 2000–2001.

Following his dismissal Hanlon accepted an offer by the Washington Capitals to act as a scout based in the Washington, D.C. area.

[edit] 2008–09 season

Hanlon was hired as head coach of the Finnish hockey team Jokerit.^[3]
