Tuesday, the New York Islanders’ president of hockey operations, Lou Lamoriello, relieved head coach Doug Weight and general manager Garth Snow of their duties. Lamoriello will take over as the team’s general manager.
In a conference call shortly after the news had been made public, Lamoriello said that everything else remained ‘status-quo’ despite a report that the entire coaching staff had been let go.
The search for a new head coach has already begun, but it appears as if Lamoriello might be looking for even more behind the Islanders’ bench.
