The Maple Leafs organization has taken a big hit, losing a key member of the coaching staff to the Seattle Kraken and leaving the team in need of a suitable replacement.
They have found a new coach within the Toronto Maple Leafs organization, snagging an associate coach with head coaching experience at the NHL level.
The official announcement came from Seattle’s GM Jason Botterill, who said the team looked high and low before coming to a decision.
“After conducting an extensive search, we’re thrilled to announce Lane as our new head coach. We cast a wide net for suitable candidates. What impressed us throughout the interview process was Lane’s strategy and vision for this team. He was an integral part of the Capitals winning the Cup and the Islanders advancing to two straight Eastern Conference finals. We have full confidence in Lane to lead this team behind the bench.”
Lambert’s only head coaching position in the NHL came with the New York Islanders. He was fired after two seasons, and joined the Maple Leafs in June, 2024.
