Oilers Hire Mav Aide

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.
  • The changes follow the decision not to renew goaltending coach Dustin Schwartz’s contract and Paul Coffey moving back to a special advisor role after coaching last season.
  • McFarland, 39, returns to the NHL after coaching the WHL’s Calgary Hitmen to a 45-17-3-3 record, while Aubry, 48, moves up from NCAA's University of Nebraska-Omaha, and Allen, 35, joins from the U.S. National U17 team.
  • 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.
