Jets Add Davis Payne, Dean Chynoweth To Coaching Staff

June 17, 2024 at 12:57 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 1 Comment

The Jets have added Dean Chynoweth and Davis Payne to their coaching staff in assistant roles, Darren Dreger of TSN reports Monday. Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet said on Sunday’s “32 Thoughts” podcast that Chynoweth was linked to the Winnipeg bench. The team made the hirings official shortly after Dreger’s report.

Chynoweth and Payne will serve under Scott Arniel, who begins his second stint as an NHL head coach in the fall. Arniel, who had been the Jets’ associate coach for the past two seasons, was promoted last month after Rick Bowness announced his retirement.

Payne, 53, finds a new NHL home after being fired by the Senators in mid-December along with head coach D.J. Smith. He’d been with Ottawa as an assistant since 2019 after stops with the Kings and Sabres, the former of which made him a Stanley Cup champion on Darryl Sutter’s staff in 2014.

Payne was also briefly the Blues’ head coach in the early 2010s, compiling a 67-55-15 record in parts of three seasons. He’s worked in the NHL every season since being named St. Louis’ head coach in 2010.

The 55-year-old Chynoweth joins after spending the last three seasons as an assistant coach for the Maple Leafs. He oversaw Toronto’s defense corps in 2021-22 and 2022-23 and coached the penalty kill in all three seasons.

During that time, the Leafs’ PK ranked 11th in the league with an 80.3% success rate. The Jets’, meanwhile, has checked in at 78.2%, 20th in the league. Toronto announced that Chynoweth wouldn’t return next season after they named former Islanders head coach Lane Lambert as an associate coach under Craig Berube earlier this month.

Before his time with the Leafs, Chynoweth spent three seasons as an assistant with the Hurricanes under Rod Brind’Amour from 2018 to 2021. The son of CHL founder and Hockey Hall of Famer Ed Chynoweth, he also spent three years as an assistant with the Islanders from 2009 to 2012. Since retiring as a player in 1998, he’s held various coaching jobs in the AHL, IHL and WHL.

    Payne did a great job of coaching the ECHL Cincinnati Cyclones. I’m rooting for him as he moves on to the Jets.
