EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA, JUL 14 – Paul Coffey shifts to special advisor as Edmonton replaces goaltending coach and adds three new assistants aiming to improve post-season goaltender performance, Oilers said.
- On Monday, the Edmonton Oilers announced coaching staff changes for the 2025-26 season, adding Paul McFarland, Peter Aubry, and Conor Allen.

- UNO coach Mike Gabinet called the NHL opportunity “pretty special” for Aubry and his family, highlighting Aubry’s prior success developing goaltenders honored by the NCHC.
- These staff updates aim to improve Oilers’ post-season goaltending consistency and maintain stability after back-to-back Stanley Cup final appearances.
