'''Mitch Korn ''' (born September 16, 1957 in the [[Bronx, New York]]), is a professional hockey goaltending coach and former goaltender. Korn was hired in July 2018 as the director of goaltending for the [[New York Islanders]] of the [[National Hockey League]]. Prior to the Islanders, Korn spent 4 seasons as the goaltending coach of the [[Washington Capitals]] and 16 years as the goaltending coach for the [[Nashville Predators]] under head coach [[Barry Trotz]]. In April 2014, the Predators organization decided not to renew Trotz's coaching contract, which set to expire that summer.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Cooper|first1=Josh|title=Barry Trotz out as Predators coach|url=http://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nhl/predators/2014/04/14/barry-trotz-out-as-nashville-predators-coach/7696215/|website=www.thetennessean.com|publisher=The Tennessean|accessdate=17 January 2015}}</ref> Korn's contract was also set to expire that summer (June 30),<ref>{{cite web|last1=Cooper|first1=Josh|title=Ben Vanderklok new goaltending coach for Predators|url=http://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nhl/predators/2014/06/12/nashville-predators-ben-vanderklok-goaltending-coach/10392331/|website=www.thetennessean.com|publisher=The Tennessean|accessdate=17 January 2015}}</ref> and he chose to continue his professional relationship with Trotz (with whom he had worked since 1998) over renewing his contract with the Nashville Predators.
