The Los Angeles Kings have named Mark Hardy as an Assistant Coach, Kings President/General Manager Dean Lombardi and new Kings Head Coach Terry Murray announced today. In addition, the Kings have promoted Jamie Kompon to Assistant Coach and Nelson Emerson to Assistant Coach/Development Coordinator. ?I am excited to help welcome Mark back to the Kings organization,? said Murray. ?During his time in Chicago as an Assistant Coach, Mark did a great job working with their young players and their young defensemen in particular, and he was instrumental in helping that club make the great strides it has made the last couple of years. In addition, Mark was an important player for the Kings and I feel that his all-round experience in this game as a coach and as a player will really assist me as we work together with our players. ?I am also excited about the promotions for Jamie and Nelson. In the time I have spent with Jamie, I have come to admire his work ethic, his passion and the knowledge he possesses. At the same time, Nelson and Bill were professional players, and very good players, and their knowledge of our club will be invaluable to me and our entire staff as we move forward.?
