The Coyotes have added to new coach Rick Tocchet's staff, bringing in John MacLean and Scott Allen as assistants.
Arizona also appointed Mike Van Ryn head coach of the Coyotes' American Hockey League affiliate, the Tucson Roadrunners, while naming John Slaney and Steve Potvin assistants. Former head coach Mark Lamb and assistant Mark Hardy will not be returning.
When he was introduced as the Coyotes' next coach, Tocchet said he wanted to recreate the culture he had in Pittsburgh as an assistant alongside coach Mike Sullivan. Each coach had autonomy, and Tocchet wants assistants to challenge him.
