Hall of Fame blueliner Paul Coffey will not return as Oilers assistant coach
Hall of Fame defenceman Paul Coffey will not be behind the Edmonton Oilers bench next season, and the NHL club is moving on from goaltending coach Dustin Schwartz. The Oilers announced the moves Monday, which included the addition of Paul McFarland, Peter Aubry and Conor Allen to their coaching staff. Aubrey takes over as goaltending coach, while McFarland will serve as an assistant coach, and Allen will handle team skills. The club said Coffey will return to his role as a special adviser to ownership and hockey operations after having a more hands-on role last season, working with the defence as assistant coach. His role on the bench will be filled by the 39-year-old McFarland, who spent last season as head coach of the Western Hockey League's Calgary Hitmen. He makes his return to the NHL after working as an assistant coach for the Seattle Kraken for three seasons (2021-24). He also spent time as an assistant with the Florida Panthers (2017-19) and Toronto Maple Leafs (2019-20). Schwartz had been Edmonton's goaltending coach since 2014. While the Oilers made it to back-to-back Stanley Cup finals over the past two years, the inconsistent play of their goaltenders in the post-season became an area of concern. They will aim for more stability under the 48-year-old Aubry, who spent two seasons as an associate coach at Nebraska-Omaha (NCAA). He spent eight seasons (2015-16 to 2023-24) as the Chicago Blackhawks' developmental goaltending coach as well as the goaltending coach for the team's AHL affiliate in Rockford. Allen, 35, spent last season with the United States' U17 team and has also recently worked in a skill development role with the Sioux City Musketeers.

Golfer who ‘got dropped like a bucket of balls' in fight with ex-NHLer Nick Tarnasky apologizes
Article content As he's warned to back down and told he's not scaring anybody, Ogilvie throws his sunglasses to the ground and starts acting aggressively, shouting 'Let's go f—ing go, man.' Article content 'Buddy, you don't want to go at me,' Tarnasky can be heard warning him. Article content Moments later, Ogilvie lunges at the much bigger and taller Tarnasky, who uses the aggressor's momentum to manhandle him into the nearby aforementioned water hazard. Article content Ogilvie quickly climbs from the water and goes back at Tarnasky only to be served two meaty right hands by the former pro who had 297 penalty minutes in his five NHL seasons, which included heavyweight tilts against the likes of Aaron Asham, Zenon Konopka, Milan Lucic, Chris Neil and Colton Orr, among several others. (He racked up another 1,054 minutes in 522 AHL and KHL games.) Article content Each landed fist is accentuated by Tarnasky shouting 'Bang!' Article content An undeterred Ogilvie, however, climbs to his feet and is delivered another three punches, each with their own 'Bang,' before being pushed to the ground. Article content Article content 'Enough. Get out,' Tarnasky screams as Ogilvie staggers toward him again, only to be rag-dolled onto the grass. Article content As Tarnasky's group again urge the tandem to leave, Ogilvie gathers his belongings and stumbles forward looking for a handshake. An incensed Tarnasky wants none of it and pushes him to the ground again. Article content Then, after Ogilvie starts putting his clubs in someone else's cart and is pushed away, he appears to briefly brandish the club as a weapon. The camera cuts away as Tarnasky and the others continue to yell at Ogilvie and the unidentified man to leave, which they soon do. Article content Ogilvie's latest post, while contrite, came without a direct apology to Tarnasky. Article content 'All jokes aside, guys, I'd like to apologize to all the folks on the course, anyone caught up in it and anyone who had to deal with me that day. I lost my cool, and I've learned from it. It's just one of those days where you should have kept the cart on the path, ya know. Article content 'Stay hydrated. Keep your stick on the ice. Maybe stick to 18.' Article content Article content Tarnasky, meanwhile, is set to break his silence on the slow-play fisticuffs in the next episode of the popular Spittin' Chiclets hockey podcast — he chatted with co-host and retired NHLer Paul Bisonnette for an episode set to air on Tuesday. Article content Just interviewed Nick Tarnasky. What a guy. Just a humble man from Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. He wanted to clear the air about the golf situation that's taken over the internet. Excited for everyone to hear it. We spoke about his entire career including his time in the KHL.… — Paul Bissonnette (@BizNasty2point0) July 10, 2025
