The St. Louis Blues had some news to reveal just a day after the 2022-23 season officially ended with the Vegas Golden Knights winning the Stanley Cup. The team announced two additions to the coaching staff.
Mike Weber will join the staff as an assistant coach, presumably on the bench with Craig Berube and Steve Ott. Michael Babcock, son of former NHL head coach Mike Babcock, was brought in to be a skills coach.
The interesting thing about both hires is the clear focus on the defensive end.
Weber is a former defenseman, with 341 NHL games under his belt, mostly with the Buffalo Sabres.
