Jason Payne/Postmedia/Telegram file photoThe Vancouver Canucks' unceremonious firing of head coach Bruce Boudreau on Sunday, Jan. 22, brought an end to one of the worst-kept secrets in pro hockey.
Canucks management replaced him with Rick Tocchet, who will be the team’s new head coach, along with new assistant Adam Foote. Sergei Gonchar is also joining the staff as the team’s defensive development coach. It appears the 41-year-old will remain on Tocchet’s staff at least for the remainder of this year. It isn’t known what role King will play on the new head coach’s staff.
A member of the Hockey Newfoundland and Labrador Hall of Fame, King is in his third season with Vancouver as an assistant coach and seventh overall as a coach in the organization. Before joining Green’s staff in 2020, King worked as an assistant coach with the Utica Comets, Vancouver’s AHL affiliate, for four years.
