Canucks announce the addition of three new members to their staff

The Abbotsford Canucks are gearing up for the 2024-25 American Hockey League (AHL) season with some key additions to their hockey operations staff.

General Manager Ryan Johnson announced hiring Harry Mahesh as Assistant Coach, Andrew Shaw as Video Coach, and Ross MacEluch as Assistant Athletic Therapist. These appointments are part of the club's broader efforts to strengthen its coaching and support staff, ensuring that the team is well-prepared for the challenges of the upcoming season.

Harry Mahesh, the newly appointed Assistant Coach, brings a wealth of experience to the role. His background in player development and coaching will be instrumental in shaping the Canucks' strategies on the ice. Mahesh's expertise is expected to complement the existing coaching staff, providing fresh perspectives and tactics that could be pivotal in the team's performance.

Andrew Shaw, taking on the role of Video Coach, will play a crucial part in the team's analysis and preparation. Video coaching has become an essential element in modern hockey, allowing teams to study their performances and scout opponents meticulously. Shaw's addition is a strategic move by the Canucks to enhance their game preparation and in-game adjustments.

Ross MacEluch, the new assistant athletic therapist, will focus on player health and injury prevention. The role of an athletic therapist is vital in maintaining the physical well-being of the players and ensuring they are in peak condition throughout the grueling AHL season. MacEluch's expertise will be key in managing the team's fitness and recovery processes.

These hires, alongside the confirmation of the remaining hockey operations staff, signal the Abbotsford Canucks' commitment to building a robust support system around their players. As they prepare for the new season, these strategic additions to the staff are expected to contribute significantly to the team's success in the competitive AHL landscape.
