Goalie Development: Dusty Imoo
S&C: Jeremy Clark
Ontario Reign Coaching Staff:
Head Coach: Mike Stothers
Assistant Coach: David Bell, Jaroslav Modry
LA Kings Coaching Staff:
Head Coach: Willie Desjardins
Assistant Coach: Dave Lowry, Marco Sturm
Goalie coach: Bill Ranford
There aren't a whole lot of people involved in development or coaching which inspires talent or has shown results. And I still don't see how Adam Oates, who was hired as a consultant, has had any tangible results for players getting better.
I still maintain the Kings have made some good picks, which suggest good scouting, but the development staff (especially with forwards) has yet to show a reliable ability to bring the best out of the staff.
