The New York Islanders have spent the last 24 hours bolstering their coaching staff, hiring renowned instructors to lead the team into battle next season.
Since Monday, the Islanders have hired 60-year-old Mitch Korn and 50-year-old Piero Greco to prepare the club’s goaltending strategy. Islanders head coach Barry Trotz now has a full staff, which is composed of longtime confidants and holdovers.
On Monday, the Islanders informed Fred Brathwaite that he will not be returning next season as the club’s goaltending coach. In his place, the Isles hired Piero Greco, the head goaltending coach of the Toronto Marlies for the past four seasons, and a coach in the Ontario Hockey League for the Owen Sound Attack (2002-04), Barrie Colts (2004-10) and Kitchener Rangers (2010-13).
