Flames name Cameron, Jerrard assistant coaches
The Calgary Flames named Dave Cameron and Paul Jerrard assistant coaches on Wednesday, the team announced.
Cameron joins the team after serving as head coach of the Ottawa Senators the past two seasons. In his first year with the Senators he coached the team to a 32-15-8 record in 55 games - after taking over for the fired Paul MacLean - which included an incredible 23-4-4 run to close out the regular season and a playoff berth.
He was let go at the end of this season after the Senators regressed, finishing with a record of 38-35-9.
Jerrard makes the jump to the NHL in joining the Flames after serving as an assistant coach to the Vancouver Canucks' American Hockey League affiliate, the Utica Comets.
The two will join newly named head coach Glen Gulutzan and a staff including Martin Gelinas, Jamie Pringle, and Jordan Sigalet.
