After conducting an extensive search, we're thrilled to announce Lane as our new head coach. We cast a wide net for suitable candidates. What impressed us was Lane's strategy and vision for this team. He was an integral part of the Capitals winning the Cup and the Islanders advancing to two straight Eastern Conference finals.
I'm so excited to become the head coach of the Seattle Kraken. Seattle is an incredible sports town, and I've been impressed by the energy of the fans every time I've been there.
