Johan Hedberg joined the San Jose Sharks coaching staff as goaltending and assitant coach on July 2, 2015. Hedberg served most recently as the goaltending coach for the Albany Devils (AHL), the New Jersey Devils' top minor league development affiliate.

Prior to his time with Albany, Hedberg spent a season with DeBoer in New Jersey as a special assignment scout with the Devils upon his retirement from the League in 2014.

Hedberg played in 373 career NHL games spanning 12 seasons with Pittsburgh, Vancouver, Dallas, Atlanta and New Jersey, posting a 161-143-36 record, 22 shutouts and a 2.82 goals-against average. Amongst Swedish-born netminders, Hedberg ranks 3rd all-time in wins behind only Henrik Lundqvist (339) and Tommy Salo (210).
Originally drafted by Philadelphia in the ninth round (218th overall) in the 1994 NHL Draft, Hedberg was acquired by the Sharks in a 1997 trade and spent the next four seasons developing under the late Warren Strelow and former Assistant General Manager Wayne Thomas. At that time, the Sharks goaltending prospect pool included Hedberg, Evgeni Nabokov, Miikka Kiprusoff and Vesa Toskala. Hedberg spent the entire 1999-00 season playing for the Kentucky Thoroughblades (AHL), then San Jose’s AHL affiliate, under current San Jose Barracuda Head Coach Roy Sommer.
