The Los Angeles Kings have appointed Marco Sturm as the new head coach of their AHL affiliate, the Ontario Reign. Sturm, a former NHL player and a well-respected figure in the hockey community, takes over from John Wroblewski, who led the Reign to notable success during his tenure. Under Wroblewski, the Reign made significant progress, but with Sturm’s experience, the organization aims to continue building on that foundation.

Sturm played 14 seasons in the NHL, representing teams like the San Jose Sharks and the Boston Bruins. His transition from player to coach has seen him work effectively with young talents in the Kings’ system. The Reign will benefit from his extensive knowledge of the game and his dedication to developing players into NHL-caliber athletes.

With Sturm at the helm, the Kings are hopeful that he will help cultivate future stars for the franchise. His leadership skills and deep understanding of players, gained through his own career, make him a prime candidate for the role. Fans can look forward to seeing how his coaching tactics will elevate the Reign in the upcoming season and possibly contribute to the Kings' success in the NHL.
