Gouthro had served as a goaltender consultant with the Eagles since 2018, and was goaltender & video coach for the Eagles from 2005 to 2014.

Gouthro has an extensive resume as a goaltender coach, highlighted by a three year stint with the NHL's Calgary Flames (2014-2016) as a goaltender development coach, working with AHL teams in Adirondack and Stockton.

During his playing career, Gouthro played for the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in addition to Halifax Oland Exports (Jr. A) where he won a national championship and was the top goaltender at the Royal Bank Cup. Following his junior playing days, Gouthro was a first team all-star in the OUA West (CIS university hockey) in addition to spending time in both the Quebec senior hockey ranks and the minor-pro SPHL.

In addition to Gouthro, the Eagles have hired Jack Cashen as the team's new video intern game coding technician. He will be responsible for use of XO's software during the team's home games.
