Hip problems later in life are pretty common for goaltenders. Rehabbing it to get back to a normal life is probably his main goal. in the meantime, he dips his foot into coaching.
Given his personality, I see him as pretty much as a goaltending coach. Head coaches have to be pretty intense. Probably why a no-BS guy like Bill Peters clashed with him.

Hip and groin injuries are among the most common locations for sports-related injuries in ice hockey players due to the specialized movements and physical nature of the sport. Goaltenders are at particular risk for hip injuries due to the unique demands of their position, particularly with the widespread use of the “butterfly style” technique, placement of the hip in extremes of motion during play, and the emphasis on repetition of skills.
