Islanders Bet Big on Mathieu Darche: Can He Turn Chaos into Championship Glory?
“He is a proven winner and is committed, as is our ownership group, to building a group that will be highly competitive next season and beyond.”
Darche had been Tampa’s director of hockey operations since 2019 and an assistant general manager since 2022.
His job with the Lightning primarily focused on salary cap management, budgeting and player contracts at first but expanded to touch other areas of hockey operations.
A former NHLer, Darche had stints with the Blue Jackets, Predators, Lightning, Sharks and Canadiens. He also was part of the NHLPA’s negotiating team during the 2012-13 lockout.
