The Carolina Hurricanes announced Saturday they have hired Mike Bales as their new goaltending coach.
Bales, 45, has served as goalie coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins for the past four seasons, working with Matt Murray and Marc-Andre Fleury the past two years.
“Mike has a proven history of success as a goaltending coach with the Penguins, winning back-to-back Stanley Cups,” Canes general manager Ron Francis said in a statement. “Based on our research, we are confident that he is someone our goalies and coaching staff will enjoy working with, and we’re thrilled to have him in our organization.
