From Olympic Gold to NHL bench: David Pelletier begins a new chapter with the Dallas Stars Though a new member to the NHL coaching ranks, David Pelletier journey is otherwise unique. The Quebec-born Pelletier first carved a name for himself in figure skating before he crossed over into hockey coaching. Career highlights would include having won the gold medal in pairs figure skating at the Salt Lake City Olympics of 2002, a historic occasion that saw Canada lay to rest a 42-year gold medal drought in the discipline.
