VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have rounded out the staff for new head coach Manny Malhotra.

Mougenel recently completed his eighth season with the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League, including the last five as head coach. He is coming off winning the Louis A.R. Pieri Memorial Award as the AHL’s coach of the year.
Smith spent the past two seasons as an assistant coach under Malhotra with the Abbotsford Canucks, helping Vancouver’s AHL affiliate win the Calder Cup in 2024-25.
