Coyotes name 2-time Cup winner Cory Stillman assistant coach

The Arizona Coyotes added some championship pedigree to their bench, hiring two-time Stanley Cup winner Cory Stillman as an assistant coach Tuesday.

Stillman was previously the head coach of the OHL's Sudbury Wolves, a role he occupied for the last three seasons.

The 46-year-old served as the Carolina Hurricanes' director of development for five campaigns and also worked in the Florida Panthers' player development department.

Stillman won titles with the Tampa Bay Lightning (2003-04) and the Hurricanes (2005-06) as a player. The former forward notched 278 goals and 449 assists in 1,025 games over a 16-year career while playing for six teams, including the Calgary Flames, St. Louis Blues, Ottawa Senators, and the Panthers.

Stillman joins legendary former defenseman Phil Housley as an assistant on Coyotes head coach Rick Tocchet's staff under new general manager Bill Armstrong.
