Islanders name Piero Greco as new goalie coach, replacing Fred Brathwaite

The Islanders continued to re-tool their coaching staff on Wednesday, naming Piero Greco as their goalie coach to replace Fred Brathwaite.

Greco, 50, follows president and general manager Lou Lamoriello to the Islanders from the Toronto Maple Leafs organization after serving as the goalie coach of the Toronto Marlies (AHL) the past four seasons.

While Brathwaite departs the Islanders after one season on former coach Doug Weight’s staff, Chris Terreri remains in his role as goaltending development coach and goalie coach for Bridgeport (AHL).

The Islanders also have had discussions with Mitch Korn, who spent last season as the Capitals’ director of goaltending and who has worked with new Islanders coach Barry Trotz since 1998, both with the Predators and in Washington.
