Green, 52, was head coach of the Vancouver Canucks from 2017-18 to 2021-22 with a 133-147-34 record. The Canucks made the playoffs once under Green. Before coaching in the NHL, Green was head coach for the American Hockey League's Utica Comets from 2013-17, advancing to the 2014-15 Calder Cup finals and winning 35 or more games in all four seasons.
He also took over as interim head coach of the Western Hockey League's Portland Winterhawks in 2012-13, leading them to a WHL championship title.
"Travis has a wealth of coaching experience from his time at the junior, AHL and NHL levels," said Ruff. "He is super excited about working with our team and I know his attention to detail within the game will have a positive impact. Travis's energy and engaging personality are great assets for our group, and a huge benefit when working with our players one-on-one.
