Spencer Carbery (St. Norbert/Alaska Anchorage) is the new head coach of the NHL's Washington Capitals. He succeeds Peter Laviolette (Westfield State), who parted ways with Washington in April after the Caps missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in eight seasons.
Carbery, 41, from Victoria, British Columbia, began his coaching career in 2010-11 with South Carolina (ECHL) as an assistant, then spent the next six seasons there as head coach of the Stingrays, leading them to the Kelly Cup Final in 2015. After one season in major junior as head coach of Saginaw (OHL), he went to Providence (AHL) as an assistant for a year before taking the reins of Hershey (AHL) in Washington's system for three seasons. He spent the last two years as an assistant with the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs.
Carbery played one season at UAA (2002-03), notching a goal and two assists in 26 outings before skating at left wing for St. Norbert for three years, where he totaled 55-45–100 points in 87 appearances while helping the Green Knights to two NCAA Division III national championship games. He then played four seasons professionally, the last three in the ECHL and the last two as an assistant captain with South Carolina, before turning to coaching.
ADDENDUM: The NHL's Nashville Predators have parted ways with head coach John Hynes (Boston University) after three-plus seasons, while Colgate University has hired all-time leading scorer and former assistant coach Mike Harder as its new men's hockey head coach.
