The Penguins promoted Ty Hennes from skating and skills development coach to assistant coach, Ron Hextall announced on Tuesday.
Hennes, 43, spent the last four seasons in his previous role, having joined the Penguins' development staff in 2018. He assisted in leading practices, worked with players during injury rehab, and worked with prospects during the season, and led the Penguins' informal skates over the summers. He started working behind the bench during games in the 2019-20 season.
"Promoting Ty to an assistant coach was one of our top priorities heading into the season, as he is widely regarded as one of the best skills coaches in the NHL," Hextall said of the decision to promote Hennes.
