L. A. Kings choose Murray
Terry Murray has been hired as the new coach of the Los Angeles Kings.
A team spokesman said Murray will be introduced today at a news conference at the Kings’ training facility in suburban El Segundo, Calif.
Murray, who turns 58 on Sunday, has been an assistant with the Flyers since 2003-04. He hadn’t been a head coach in the NHL since being fired by the Florida Panthers following the 2000-01 season. He has a 360-288-89 regular-season record and a 46-43 postseason mark as a head coach with Philadelphia, Washington and Florida.
The Kings fired Marc Crawford on June 10 after two years on the job.
