The New York Islanders are overhauling their coaching setup after parting ways with Lou Lamoriello. Newly appointed GM Mathieu Darche has retained head coach Patrick Roy while replacing longtime assistants with Bob Boughner and Ray Bennett. Boughner brings significant NHL experience, having coached the Sharks and Panthers, while Bennett joins after winning a Stanley Cup with the Avalanche. Their expertise, especially in special teams, aims to improve a team that previously struggled in those areas. The Islanders are optimistic about their playoff potential as they head into the NHL Entry Draft.
"The Islanders have begun a significant offseason, parting ways with longtime management and assembling a new coaching staff to support head coach Patrick Roy."
"Bob Boughner, with extensive NHL coaching experience, and Ray Bennett, with a Stanley Cup title, are set to elevate the Islanders' performance strategies."
