Best Answer

There are usually several different coaches. All teams have 1 head coach who organizes the entire team under the General Manager. There will usually be 2-3 assistant coaches who deal with forwards or defense. To my knowledge all teams carry a goaltending coach to work exclusively with goalies.

How many assistant coaches are there on an NHL team?

The number of assistant coaches varies from team to team but here is what I understand the standard most teams carry. There are two assistant coaches on the bench along with the head coach. One assistant is for offense and the other for defense. There is also a goaltending coach who watches the game from a pressbox, "bird's eye" view and sometimes does doubles as the video coach. There is also a strength and conditioning coach. I have heard of teams carrying additional coaches for developing propects and are assigned to the minors and junior teams.
