Hurricanes name Marcoux goaltending coach

The Carolina Hurricanes hired David Marcoux as their goaltending coach, the team announced Tuesday.

Marcoux spent six years as goaltending coach for the Calgary Flames (2003-09), helping Miikka Kiprusoff become a Vezina Trophy and Williams Jennings Trophy winner, as well as a Hart Trophy finalist in 2005-06.

Marcoux's time with the Flames included working with Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward. Carolina and Calgary shared an American Hockey League affiliate, the Lowell Lock Monsters, during the 2004-05 season.

"David has 25 years of experience as a goalie coach, and his results speak for themselves," Hurricanes general manager Ron Francis said. "This completes what we feel is a very strong and experienced coaching staff."
