We’re just a few weeks from Lou Lamoriello’s first anniversary as the New York Islanders President of Hockey Operations. It hasn’t even been a year yet and his tenure has been an incredible success.
On May 22nd, 2018, the Islanders hired Lou Lamoriello to be the team’s President of Hockey Operations. A title previously held by long-term President and GM Garth Snow.
Lou’s goal when he came in was to establish a winning culture. With back-to-back losing seasons before he was appointed, and then losing their star player and number one center establishing a winning culture didn’t seem in the cards.
