Spencer Carbery isn\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p>\n

The Washington Capitals announced Thursday that Carbery signed a multiyear extension to remain the team\u2019s coach, three years after he was hired in May 2023. Carbery was heading into the final year of his initial contract, and the Capitals made it clear after the season ended in April that their plan was to get an extension done quickly.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince joining our organization, Spencer has played an important role in the development of many of our young players while also earning the respect and trust of our veteran leaders,\u201d Capitals General Manager Chris Patrick said in a statement. \u201cHis communication skills, strong relationship-building, and ability to connect with players at every stage of their careers have made him a great leader of our club.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Washington missed the Stanley Cup playoffs this past season, the Capitals\u2019 belief in Carbery as their coach has not wavered. In Carbery\u2019s first season, he led an underpowered team through a tightrope of a final two months to squeak into the postseason, and in 2024-25, Washington won its first-round series against Montreal \u2014 the team\u2019s first playoff series win since winning the Stanley Cup in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old won the Jack Adams Trophy<\/a> as the NHL\u2019s coach of the year in 2025 and has a 134-83-29 record in his three seasons in Washington.<\/p>

\u201cFamily and I are pumped to be in DC for as long as they\u2019ll have us!!\u201d Carbery told The Washington Post via text message.<\/p>\n

As the Capitals navigate the latter stages of Alex Ovechkin\u2019s career \u2014 Ovechkin has not yet announced his intentions for his future<\/a>, and his contract will expire June 30 \u2014 Carbery has been tasked with threading a needle. Developing the next generation is a top priority for Washington, as the likes of Ryan Leonard, Aliaksei Protas, Ilya Protas and Cole Hutson grow into their primes, but keeping the team competitive in the twilight of the Ovechkin era was also a nonnegotiable.<\/p>\n

Carbery has handled that dual mandate with a relatively high success rate, and it\u2019s clear that Washington\u2019s front office has a great deal of trust in his abilities going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Carbery] has helped foster a positive and accountable culture within our team, creating an environment where players can grow and succeed,\u201d Patrick said. \u201cWe have been extremely impressed with his commitment, professionalism, and passion for coaching, and we are excited to see him continue building on that success.\u201d<\/p>
