Todd McLellan

The LA Kings call him a professor of hockey. McLellan comes across as a solid teacher of hockey tactics and skills — just what it takes to win as a coach at any level — and one who has shown he’s good enough to do such teaching at the highest level and win.

Currently the Head Coach of LA Kings, he has also served as the head coach of the Edmonton Oilers,  San Jose Sharks (2008–2015) where he led them to six playoff appearances, and as an assistant coach with the Detroit Red Wings (2005–2008), with whom he won the Stanley Cup in 2008.

No Head Coach in NHL history has won more games in their first four seasons behind the bench than the 195 collected by Todd McLellan.

As a player, he played four seasons for the Western Hockey League’s Saskatoon Blades and was taken by the NHL’s New York Islanders in the fifth round of the 1986 NHL Entry Draft.

When his pro career was cut short by a shoulder injury, he returned to Saskatoon in 1990 to study at the University of Saskatchewan.
