Barry Trotz has resigned as coach of the Washington Capitals after leading them to the Stanley Cup.

The team announced the resignation Monday. The 55-year-old Trotz went into the season without any certainty about his future when ownership and general manager Brian MacLellan last summer opted not to give him a contract extension.

In a statement, the team thanked Trotz for his efforts the past four years and said itB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s grateful for his leadership and what heB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s done for the franchise.

The Capitals went to the playoffs in all four year under Trotz, including two PresidentsB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ Trophy-winning seasons in 2015-16 and 2016-17.
