What Happened To Butch Goring And Where Is He Now?

Butch Goring retired from the NHL in 1985. He played for the Boston Bruins for half a season before retiring and became the team’s head coach for a season and a half after being released by the Islanders.

After being sacked as the Bruins’ coach in 1987, he temporarily played for the American Hockey League’s Nova Scotia Oilers before retiring for good.

He currently works for MSG Network as a color commentator for the Islanders.

While he was a player, a source provided a fun fact that he had a reputation for having the league’s worst fashion sense.

A thief went into Goring’s hotel room in the 1970s while he was on a road trip with the Kings and stole everything that belonged to his roommate but left all of Goring’s clothes hanging in the closet undamaged.

And also, Goring is most likely the creator of the NHL’s practice of growing a beard during the Stanley Cup playoffs, known as a “playoff beard,” according to former Islanders teammate Mike Bossy on a 2010 episode of Off the Record with Michael Landsberg.
