Coach thinks long-term players should be ‘excited to hear that’
Ever since he and his staff returned to work at their El Segundo offices in late August, Kings coach Todd McLellan has kept a big calendar on the wall. Hardly a week has gone by since where he hasn’t erased, revised and adapted to the league’s ever-changing — and still not yet finalized — plans for the upcoming season.
LA Kings coach Todd McLellan and Sportsnet’s Gene Principe discuss the differences between coaching in Canada and the USA. Coach McLellan also lists players who have stood out under his guidance, in this episode of @Home.
Sportsnet Hockey Central have spent time over the last few weeks speaking with many of our head coaches during the paused NHL season. Take a listen.
Those who attended the annual NHL Coaches’ Association Global Coaches Clinic in Dallas last year were given quite a treat. A trio of established bench bosses with a combined 35 years of NHL head coaching experience, Mike Babcock, Todd McLellan, and Bill Peters shared their wisdom with coaches on hand.
There are no gray areas for Drew Doughty anymore when the Kings’ head coach speaks.
There’s no wondering where the guy who is tasked with setting ice time, scratching players, creating systems and getting the best out of his group stands.
“I want to be direct,” McLellan said. “I would like us to be very clear as a coaching staff of what we require of them, what their responsibilities are in certain areas and then, most importantly, why we’re doing it.
