Caron, 79, served as the Devils’ goalie coach during the Martin Brodeur era up until 2012-13. After spending 12 years with the Hartford Whalers organization, Caron was in New Jersey for all three of their Stanley Cups in 1995, 2000, and 2003 and worked with the organization’s goalie talent at all levels during that time (ECHL, AHL, NHL).

Caron joined the Devils’ coaching staff in 1993, at which point Brodeur was serving humbly in their American Hockey League affiliate in Utica.
