Washington Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery signed a multi-year contract extension on Thursday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Carbery, 44, just completed his third season in the nation's capital and has compiled a 134-83-29 record.
The Capitals made the playoffs in each of his first two seasons and he won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL's Coach of the Year in 2024-25.
"We are pleased to extend Spencer to a new multi-year contract," Capitals general manager Chris Patrick said. "Since joining
our organization, Spencer has played an important role in the development of many of our young players while also earning the respect and trust of our veteran leaders. His communication skills, strong relationship-building, and ability to connect with players at every stage of their careers have made him a great leader of our club.
"In addition, he has helped foster a positive and accountable culture within our team, creating an environment where players can grow and succeed. We have been extremely impressed with his commitment, professionalism, and passion for coaching, and we are excited to see him continue building on that success."
Last season, Washington went 43-30-9 (95 points) and finished three points behind the third-place Philadelphia Flyers in the Metropolitan Division and four points out of the second wild-card position in the Eastern Conference.
Carbery was an assistant coach with the Toronto Maple Leafs for two seasons before being hired by the Capitals on May 30, 2023.
