Canes hire skills coach, massage therapist

With training camp beginning Monday, the Hurricanes have made two additions to their hockey operations department.

Former NHL defenseman Peter Harrold, who played 274 games with the Kings and Devils, will join the team as a skills coach.

After not renewing the contract of former massage therapist Tristan Simmons, the Hurricanes needed to find a replacement, as each NHL team entering the “secure zones” in Toronto and Edmonton later this month are required to bring a massage therapist as part of their 52 allowed personnel.

Enter Mike Maresca, who previously held that role with the AHL’s Syracuse Crunch.
