Calgary Flames Extend Coaching Staff

On May 1st, Calgary Flames just locked in their coaching crew with two-year extensions

for assistant coaches, Dave Lowry, Trent Cole, Kale McLean, video coach Jamie Pringle,

and goal-tending coach Jason Labarbera.

That keeps them all signed through the 2027-28 season.

Head coach Ryan Husker got his own deal last fall, so the full staff stays put heading into

the new Scotia Place arena.

These guys bring serious experience to the table.

Lowry handles the forwards with a long NHL resume.

Cole runs defense in the penalty kill after stepping up from the minors.

McLean oversees power play and in-game tweaks since joining in 2021.

Pringle's been on video since 2011, and Labarbera shapes the goalies after his own pro-playing

days.

Fans and insiders saw this coming, since the team was solid under their guidance last season.

The penalty kill stood out as one of the league's best, showing real coaching chops there.

Power play lagged behind, but players like Morgan Frost gave credit to McLean's plans

and pointed fingers at execution on the ice.

With prospect Zane Perrek and Matveg Gridden likely joining the mix, special teams could

bounce back strong next year.

Meanwhile, the Flames' A-H-L affiliate, the Wranglers, lost assisted Joe Cerella after

nine years.

He worked defense and penalty kill under several head coaches.

As training cam ramps up, this stable staff sets the Flames up for a fresh push in the

rebuild.
