Vancouver adds to their coaching staff with American coach Carl Pisano
June 20th, 2018 -
Trevor Linden and Dan Bylsma announced the hiring of Carl Pisano today. Pisano will take over the defensive assistant coaching duties for Bob Boughner who was relieved yesterday. Pisano had been coaching high school hockey in the States and is from Vermont.
"Carl is a coaching candidate we've had our eye on this year, he's not a well known name but we've done our research on him. He interviewed very well and we really like how effectively he coaches up young players, especially defensemen, in the defensive aspects of the game. We look forward to him bringing his skill set to Vancouver and working with our young blueline."
Pisano is considered to be an excellent motivator of his players who prefers to play a non-physical, offensive style. He isn't very tactically adaptable and struggles with innovation and he also is loyal to his own team's players to a fault, but he does work very well with young players and excels at coaching the defensive aspects of the game.
