The Hurricanes' coaching staff underwent a few changes this offseason. Bill Peters, Steve Smith and Rod Brind'Amour are remaining in their current capacities. And video coach Chris Huffine got some help with the addition of L.J. Scarpace. Where the majority of the change occurred was in the goaltending department.
David Marcoux's contract was not renewed, and the team hired Mike Bales as its new goaltending coach. Bales' track record is impressive. He comes from Pittsburgh, where he served as the Pens' goaltending coach for the last four seasons and won back-to-back Stanley Cups.
Curtis Joseph won't be returning this season, so the Canes hired Paul Schonfelder as its minor-league goalie consultant. Schonfelder has spent the last three seasons as the goalie coach for the OHL's Ottawa 67s. He's also worked internationally with Hockey Canada.
