Mitch Love, an assistant coach for the Washington Capitals during the 2023-24 season, is gaining attention from six NHL teams looking for new head coaches. Known for his impressive record in the AHL, where he was honored as a two-time Coach of the Year, Love brings unique credentials to the table. With the Capitals still competing in the playoffs, this buzz around him reflects his successful stint with the Capitals' defense and previous accomplishments as a junior and AHL coach, paralleling Spencer Carbery's journey through the ranks.
Assistant coach Mitch Love, a two-time AHL coach of the year, is generating interest. We'll see where that goes once the Caps' season is over.
After the New York Rangers hired Mike Sullivan and the Anaheim Ducks hired Joel Quenneville, there are still six head-coaching spots open throughout the league.
Love has guided the Capitals' defense corps for two years after the Caps lured him away from the Calgary Flames' AHL affiliate.
His two seasons as an AHL bench boss are Love's lone experience leading a pro team, but he was a bench boss at the junior level for three years.
