Penguins fire goaltending coach; promote goalie development coach

PITTSBURGH (WJAC) — Pittsburgh Penguins' goaltending coach Mike Buckley was "relieved of his duties" on Wednesday, the team announced, and development coach Andy Chiodo was named as his replacement.

Chiodo has spent the past three seasons as the team's goaltending development coach.

"Andy has done a terrific job mentoring our young goaltenders. In addition to on- and off-ice training, he emphasizes the importance of life habits and mental approach to the game," said Penguins general manager Ron Hextall. "We know Andy will be a great addition to the coaching staff. The Penguins are grateful to Mike Buckley for his contributions to the team and wish him and his family the best going forward."
