St. Louis Blues coach Craig Berube signed a three-year contract extension on Wednesday.

Financial terms were not disclosed by the team. Berube will be behind the Blues’ bench through the 2024-25 season.

Berube, 56, was named coach of the Blues on Nov. 19, 2018. He guided the team out of last place in the NHL during that 2018-19 season to the first Stanley Cup title in franchise history.

“I’ve enjoyed working with (general manager) Doug Armstrong and (chairman) Tom Stillman, working with the coaching staff and training staff and all the players we have here,” Berube said. “Why would I want to go anywhere else? I love it here.”

Berube sports a 133-72-30 regular-season record during his three-plus seasons at the helm.

“I came in here four years ago and we’ve had great success here,” Berube added. “We have a chance to win again. I think that Doug does everything he can to put a winning team on the ice, and as a coach, I think that’s a great thing.

“I really enjoy St. Louis, I enjoy the fan base and it’s a great organization.”

Berube also posted a 75-58-28 record in two seasons as the coach of the Philadelphia Flyers (2013-15).
