Former NHL player Ryan Craig joins Gord Gallant’s Golden Knights coaching staff

Golden Knights head coach Gerard Gallant is moving quickly in filling out his staff.

The team announced Friday it has hired Ryan Craig as an assistant coach. The hiring of Craig comes a day after the addition of Mike Kelly as Gallant’s assistant.

“I am proud to add Ryan as an assistant coach,” Gallant said in a statement. “He is well-respected in the hockey community and has been a tremendous leader throughout his playing career, both on and off the ice. I am confident that the leadership characteristics he exuded as a player will translate well behind the bench in his new role as an assistant coach.
