Dean Clement Evason (born August 22, 1964 in Flin Flon, Manitoba) is a former Canadian ice hockey player and current coach who played 858 games for the Washington Capitals, Hartford Whalers, San Jose Sharks, Dallas Stars and Calgary Flames in the National Hockey League at the center position during his active career between 1980 and 1999. Evason enjoyed his greatest career success while wearing the Canadian national team jersey, winning the gold medal at the 1997 World Championships. He has been an assistant coach with the NHL’s Minnesota Wild since June 2018, taking over as head coach in February 2020.

Career

Evason first played in the 1980/81 season in the British Columbia Junior Hockey League with the Cowichan Valley Capitals. At the end of the season he moved to the Western Hockey League, where he played for the Spokane Flyers and Kamloops Junior Oilers until 1984. In his final year, he was named to the league’s West First All-Star Team.

After being selected 89th overall in the fifth round by the Washington Capitals in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft, the Capitals took him at the end of the 1983-84 season and used him in two games during the season. Evason spent the following season bouncing between the American Hockey League-affiliated farm team and the Caps’ NHL squad before being traded to the Hartford Whalers in March 1985. There he was part of the NHL regular squad until the end of the 1990-91 season, playing his best year in the 1986-87 season with 59 points from 80 games. The Canadian then moved to the newly formed San Jose Sharks in October 1991 in exchange for Dan Keczmer, where he stayed for two years. Further transfers to the Dallas Stars and Calgary Flames followed.

For the 1996/97 season, he joined the Canadian national team, but also appeared in three games for EV Zug from the Swiss National League A. After his stint with the national team, he left for the 1997/98 season to join EV Landshut in the German Ice Hockey League, where he ended his career after the 1998/99 season.

After his playing career ended, Evason took over as head coach of the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League in 1999/00, a position he held until the end of the 2001/02 season. He followed that up with a one-year stint as head coach of the Vancouver Giants in 2002-03, and during the 2004-05 season served as an assistant coach of the Calgary Hitmen, who, like Kamloops and Vancouver, were based in the WHL. Starting in the 2005-06 season, he was an assistant coach with the Washington Capitals in the NHL. First he assisted head coach Glen Hanlon, later he supported his successor Bruce Boudreau. For the 2012/13 season, he was hired by the Milwaukee Admirals from the American Hockey League as head coach.

Evason subsequently spent six years in Milwaukee until returning to the NHL as an assistant coach once again for the 2018/19 season, when he was hired by the Minnesota Wild. There, he took over as interim head coach in February 2020 following the firing of Bruce Boudreau and was given a permanent two-year contract for the position in the summer of 2020.

International

Evason first played for the Canadian national team at the 1984 World Junior Championship, but only finished fourth. With the senior national team, Evason spent the entire 1996/97 season with the exception of three games for EV Zug of Switzerland’s National League A. This included participation in the 1997 World Championship, where the team won the gold medal.
