Toronto Maple Leafs hire Jacques Caron as a special assignment coach (MLHS)
Caron, 76, served as the Devils’ goalie coach during the Martin Brodeur era up until 2012-13. After spending 12 years with the Hartford Whalers organization, Caron was in New Jersey for all three of their Stanley Cups in 1995, 2000, and 2003 and worked with the organization’s goalie talent at all levels during that time (ECHL, AHL, NHL).
Mitch Marner named January’s rookie of the month (MLHS)
Marner has been on a constant trend upwards since the start of the season and it was predictable that he would take home this award at some stage.
