Roderic Jean “Rod” Brind’Amour (born August 9, 1970) is a Canadian professional ice hockey coach and former player who is the head coach for the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League (NHL).
He was selected in the first round, ninth overall, by the St. Louis Blues in the 1988 NHL Entry Draft. Brind’Amour has also played for the Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes, the latter with whom he captained to the Stanley Cup in 2006, marking the first championship in franchise history.
On June 7, 2011, Brind’Amour was introduced by the Carolina Hurricanes as their assistant coach and development coach, retaining his role in developing the franchise’s forwards while also spending time behind the bench in the NHL.
Brind’Amour represented the Hurricanes in a ceremony before the Charlotte Checkers’ first home game as Carolina’s new American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate.
On May 8, 2018, Brind’Amour was hired as the Hurricanes’ head coach. In his first season as head coach, Brind’Amour guided the team to its first playoff berth in a decade, leading them to the Eastern Conference finals where they were swept by the Boston Bruins.
On April 26, 2021, Brind’Amour became the first head coach in Hurricanes history to lead the team to the playoffs in three consecutive seasons. On June 17, Brind’Amour agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Hurricanes. That same day, Brind’Amour was awarded the Jack Adams Award, given annually to the NHL’s coach of the year.
Will he be the number one choice for some NHL teams if he leaves Carolina?
