[Devils-list] Coaching moves

Fri, 03 Aug 2001 15:53:10 -0600

If you look at baseball, there are more former catchers as Manager than any
other position (9 of the 32).  They just never got the respect for their
knowledge because you've got to be a little "strange" to be a catcher...
 But no matter how you look at it, the catcher runs the team, and simply
knows more about the nuances of the sport than any other player.

Now, hockey goalies are generally a little more eccentric (think Patty Roy,
the living freak), but you get someone levelheaded like Terreri, (Andy Moog,
Mike Vernon and The Beezer also spring to mind), and you have someone who
sees the whole game, then delegates responsibilities...  A different style
than Robinson, who is very hands-on...

  Here's some news from The Associated Press:  

Leach named Devils assistant coach, Carpenter named head coach at Albany   
The Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Jay Leach, who served as an assistant coach   
with Larry Robinson in Los Angeles, was hired by the New Jersey Devils in a   
similar capacity.   
Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello on Friday also named Bobby Carpenter as   
head coach of the Albany River Rats of the AHL, the franchise's top minor   
league team.   
Carpenter, who was the River Rats' associate coach, replaces John Cunniff,   
who was moved to the Devils' scouting staff along with Kurt Kleinendorst.   
Kleinendorst was an assistant coach for the Devils last season.   
Besides scouting this season, he will also work with the United States   
Olympic team in Salt Lake City.   
Goaltender Chris Terreri, who split last season playing with the Devils and   
the New York Islanders, was named an assistant coach at Albany along with   
Geordie Kinnear, a longtime River Rats' player.  
 Leach, 48, joins the Devils after spending the past two seasons as an   
assistant coach with Atlanta. He spent three seasons as Robinson's assistant   
with Los Angeles.   
Leach was the coach of Hershey of the AHL from 1993-94 to 1995-96, and of   
Springfield from 1991-93. His AHL teams won two division championships and   
one conference playoff championship.  
 The Lexington, Mass., native began his NHL coaching career as an assistant   
with Hartford in 1988. His coaching resume includes four years as an   
assistant with the University of Maine and two years at Merrimack. Leach   
played in the Quebec Nordiques and Minnesota North Stars systems, as well as   
the Eastern League.   

Carpenter, 38, was an assistant the past two seasons in Albany. In addition,   
he joined Robinson's staff from late March through the end of the Stanley Cup   
playoffs the past two seasons. Carpenter played 18 seasons in the NHL with   
Washington, the Rangers, Los Angeles, Boston, and New Jersey, winning the   
Stanley Cup with Devils in 1995.   
Terreri, 36, spent 11 of his 13 NHL seasons with the Devils, winning Stanley   
Cup in 1995 and 2000. Kinnear, 28, retired in December due to medical   
reasons. He spent most of his career with Albany, and remains the club's   
all-time leader in games played (406).    

The Devs sure like their Terreri!
