Spencer Carbery is, by nature, an enthusiastic person. Whether the Washington Capitals coach is teaching concepts to his players, calling out instructions during a game or discussing his thoughts with the media, Carbery’s intensity and sheer passion for his job are always on display.
But if you want to *really* get Carbery excited, ask him about the NFL.
Despite growing up in Victoria, B.C., surrounded by Seattle Seahawks fans, Carbery is a lifelong fan of the San Francisco 49ers. And as Carbery has gone on his own [journey through the coaching ranks](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/10/12/spencer-carbery-coaching-history-washington-capitals/?itid=lk_inline_manual_5) in hockey, his fascination with football has extended to its coaches — most prominently Kyle Shanahan, who just so happens to be the coach of Carbery’s 49ers, and the growing branches of Shanahan’s coaching tree.
In fact, in the rare moments that he’s not at the Capitals’ practice facility, Carbery can often be found watching HBO’s “Hard Knocks” — which this season features a coach connected to Shanahan.
“I follow it closely and am fascinated with the inner workings of how they operate,” Carbery said Thursday. “Their day-to-day, their meetings, their training camps, their preparation each week. … I’ve been watching — [Miami Dolphins Coach] Mike McDaniel is a disciple of Kyle and worked in San Fran, and they’ve been on ‘Hard Knocks.’ I’m almost caught up with that. I love watching that stuff.”
