Former NHLer Marco Sturm named head coach of the Kings' AHL affiliate
The Los Angeles Kings announced on Friday that former NHLer Marco Sturm has been appointed as head coach of their American Hockey League affiliate, the Ontario Reign.
Sturm, 43, spent the last four seasons as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Kings. Prior to that, Sturm was the head coach and general manager of the German men's national team from 2015 to 2018, helping them take home a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.
"As part of Todd's staff for the past few seasons, Marco has played an important role helping to instill a successful system for our team and will continue the development of our players at that level," said vice president and general manager Rob Blake. "This is a good opportunity for Marco and Todd was very supportive of this transition."
As a player, the Dingolfing (Germany) native spent parts of fourteen seasons in the National Hockey League with San Jose, Boston, Los Angeles, Washington, Vancouver and Florida. In 938-career games, Sturm put up 487 points (242 goals, 245 assists) and 446 penalty minutes. In 2005, he was a part of the deal that brought Joe Thornton to San Jose.
