Chris Lamoriello was hired by the New York Islanders on Friday as their Director of Player Personnel. Lamoriello is as you’ve guessed it related to Toronto Maple Leafs GM Lou Lamoriello.
Chris Lamoriello, Lou’s son, spent most of his NHL management career working for the New Jersey Devils organization. Holding various and long and important titles like: Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations, General Manager of the Albany Devils, and Scout. (that last one almost seems out of place).
Lamoriello will take a role that had been, until his hiring, been left vacant. At the time of writing the Islanders official management directory doesn’t list a Director of Player Personnel.
