Anaheim Ducks have poached coach Rich Clune from the Maple Leafs
Anaheim Ducks appoint new assistant head coach, snatching him from the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Anaheim Ducks have undergone significant changes to their coaching staff this offseason, which included the dismissal of multiple assistants. Craig Johnson and Newell Brown, who had served multiple stints with the team, were relieved of their duties.
Changes coming on the Ducks coaching staff as Newell Brown and Craig Johnson will not have their contracts renewed. It was Brown's third stint with the organization. He was on Randy Carlyle's staff for the 2007 Stanley Cup team. Johnson was with Anaheim the last two seasons.
Today, the Anaheim Ducks filled one of those roles by hiring Rich Clune, former assistant coach of the Toronto Marlies. Clune joins the Ducks after three seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs organization.
We are proud to announce Rich Clune has joined our coaching staff!

While with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Rich Clune served as a development coach before being promoted to assistant coach of the Toronto Marlies. The Ducks are adding a coach with a proven track record of player development in the AHL to their young core. Now, Brad Treliving and the Toronto Maple Leafs will need to find his replacement.
