DALLAS, May 22 (UPI) -- Andy Moog, who spent the last three seasons as a goaltending consultant for the Vancouver Canucks, Wednesday was named a goaltending coach for the Dallas Stars under new coach Dave Tippett.
Moog posted a 372-209-88 record and 3.13 goals-against average in an 18-year NHL career, winning three Stanley Cups with the Edmonton Oilers in the 1980s as Grant Fuhr's backup. He ranks ninth on the NHL's all-time wins list.
Moog was an original member of the Dallas Stars, playing in 175 games for the team from 1993-97. He retired following the 1997-98 campaign.
"We are happy to bring Andy back to the Dallas Stars organization," said Dallas General Manager Doug Armstrong. "He proved to be a winner throughout his playing career and will be able to draw from his wealth of knowledge to work with our goaltenders on a daily basis."
Since 1998, the 42-year-old Moog has been president of the Central Hockey League's Fort Worth Brahmas, a position he will now relinquish. He also served as a goaltending consultant for Team Canada, which captured the gold medal at this year's Winter Olympics.
"This is a great opportunity for me," Moog said. "My involvement with the Canucks and Team Canada has really sparked my interest in the coaching side of the game. I am extremely fortunate to be given this opportunity with the Stars."
