The Carolina Hurricanes have filled the assistant coaching vacancy on new head coach Rod Brind’Amour’s staff. General manager Don Waddell announced Monday that the team has named Jeff Daniels, who has previously served the organization in a number or roles, to that position.

Daniels had been serving as the Hurricanes manager of pro scouting. Before that, he was head coach of the Canes’ AHL affiliates in Charlotte and Albany from 2008-2015. Daniels was previously an assistant coach for the Canes from 2003-2008, including as a member of Peter Laviolette’s staff with the 2006 Stanley Cup Championship team.

“Jeff has served as a head coach in the American Hockey League, and of course won the ultimate prize as an assistant on the NHL level,” Waddell said in the team’s official release. “Rod has played with and under Jeff, so he has a great understanding for the experience and knowledge that he brings to the table.”

Daniels also played for the Hurricanes during his 425-game NHL career, and was part of the 2002 team that reached the first Stanley Cup Final in franchise history. Daniels joins assistant coach Steve Smith, who has been with the Canes since 2014, on Brind’Amour’s staff behind the bench.
