Mike Babcock Spotted at NHL Game

A keen-eyed fan attending the St. Louis Blues game made a surprising discovery - former head coach Mike Babcock was in the crowd. This sighting comes only a few weeks after he parted ways with the Columbus Blue Jackets amid a significant controversy, indicating that Babcock's passion for hockey remains undiminished.

He was notably sporting a Blues jersey. However, it's essential to clarify that this appearance doesn't suggest any affiliation between the former coach and the Blues organization. It appears that Babcock was in St. Louis to support his son, Michael Babcock III, who now serves as a member of the Blues' training staff.

Michael Babcock III currently holds the position of skills coach in St. Louis, having previously held a similar role with the Ottawa Senators before making the move to St. Louis this past summer.
