The Washington Capitals transformed from the last team in the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs to the top seed in the Eastern Conference in 2025 due to significant improvements from players like Aliaksei Protas and Pierre-Luc Dubois. Their success can be credited to coach Spencer Carbery's focus on individual development, emphasizing each playerâs skills and areas for improvement. This tailored coaching approach signifies a deep commitment to both player and team growth, leading to more collective success on the ice as they prepare for the playoffs.
"If you ask me what I love about coaching, what's your favorite part, the individual development part is my favorite part. I love it. Absolutely love it."
"Carbery develops the individual - his skills, his habits, strengthening his strengths and minimizing his weaknesses - so that the team develops collectively. It is intentional. It is effective."
