This summer, the Islanders’ ownership group was determined to do things correctly. As such, Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin granted Doug Weight full control over his coaching staff.
Besides for appointing Luke Richardson and Scott Gomez to new posts, Weight also made a change between the pipes. On Monday, the Islanders announced the hiring of Fred Brathwaite. He’s expected to assume the role of head goalie coach immediately.
