"Spencer is one of the best young coaches in
the game who's had success at every level at which he has
coached," Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan said in a
statement. "We feel his leadership, communication skills,
ability to develop players and familiarity with our organization
will be a tremendous asset as he makes this next step in his
coaching career."
Carbery, 41, also played for the ECHL's South Carolina Stingrays
in 2010. The Stingrays are the current affiliate of Washington.
"It's a tremendous honor and privilege to be named the head
coach of the Washington Capitals," Carbery said. "I look forward
to working with this group of talented players and building upon
the winning culture in place. I would also like to thank the
Toronto Maple Leafs organization for all their support over the
past two years and wish them all the best in the future."
The Capitals parted ways with head coach Peter Laviolette and
assistants Kevin McCarthy and Blaine Forsythe last month.
Washington missed the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time
since 2013-14, ending an eight-year streak of making the
postseason. Laviolette's teams went 115-78-27 in his three-year
stay, including a 35-37-10 mark in 2022-23.
