The Toronto Sceptres named Stanley Cup winner Pascal Rheaume as their new head coach on Wednesday.

Rheaume, 52, most recently was an assistant coach with the AHL's Bridgeport Islanders for the last two seasons.

He replaces Troy Ryan, Toronto's inaugural coach who left last month to coach expansion side PWHL San Jose.

'Pascal brings a fresh perspective, a new voice, and valuable professional experience to our organization,' Sceptres general manager Gina Kingsbury said.

'Pascal is known for his commitment to hard work and fostering a close-knit locker room. We believe Pascal's leadership, experience, and approach to player development will have a tremendous impact on our group as we continue to build and strive towards new heights as a professional organization.'Rheaume arrives with more than 14 years of coaching experience following a nine-year NHL career with six teams from 1997-2005. The forward won a Stanley Cup with the New Jersey Devils in 2002-03.

'I am honored to be joining the Toronto Sceptres and cannot thank Gina and the leadership group for their trust in what I can bring to the team,' Rheaume said. 'I'm looking forward to getting started here, working with the players and staff, and meeting the incredible fans here in Toronto. Excited to get started!'
