Carolina Hurricanes hire Dean Chynoweth as assistant coach

The Carolina Hurricanes have announced they have hired Dean Chynoweth to be their next assistant coach. Chynoweth will fill a gap in Rod Brind’Amour’s coaching roster after Steve Smith departed for the Buffalo Sabres.

Chynoweth served as an assistant coach with the New York Islanders from 2009-2012, his only coaching experience at the NHL level. He most recently was an assistant coach with the Vancouver Giants, helping lead the team to a WHL playoff berth. Before that, he coached the AHL affiliates of the Colorado Avalanche in Cleveland and San Antonio for four seasons.
