“As I went through it, everything kept drawing me to this organization,” said Spencer Carbery, the new Capitals coach. He learned to deal with scrutiny in one of the NHL’s biggest markets, rebuilding the team’s power play into one of the league’s best.
Carbery, dressed in a crisp navy suit, took his seat and smiled at his family in the front row. Soon, he faced questions about how he might lead one of the league’s oldest teams as a first-time bench boss — but before he responded, he nodded toward his wife and kids.
That support had carried him through coaching stints with the Capitals’ farm system in North Charleston, S.C., and Hershey, Pa., over the past decade, but it was only after Carbery left Washington’s organization two years ago to test himself as an assistant with the Toronto Maple Leafs that the door opened to this opportunity.
, MacLellan had a top choice and never wavered even as the team did its due diligence on other candidates — and even as Carbery interviewed with other teams, there was only one truly natural fit.“As I went through the process with my family, this has always felt right for me, this organization,” Carbery said. “The people I have relationships with, the way they treat players, the players they value. As I went through it, everything kept drawing me to this organization.
MacLellan said there is a “trust and comfort” with Carbery, who finished his playing career with Washington’s ECHL affiliate, the South Carolina Stingrays, in 2010. The next year, he was hired as the coach of the team, where he served for five years. Carbery eventually took over as coach of Washington’s American Hockey League affiliate in Hershey in 2018, growing close to many Capitals prospects in his three seasons there and building relationships across the organization.
