Los Angeles Kings Fire Head Coach Jim Hiller, Appoint DJ Smith as Interim Coach; Matt Greene Joins as Assistant Coach
The Los Angeles Kings have dismissed head coach Jim Hiller following one season, naming DJ Smith as interim coach and Matt Greene as assistant coach. Hiller joined the team in 2022 and took over as head coach in 2023. The move aims to improve the teams performance in the Pacific Division standings, as fans and the front office grew frustrated with results after the Olympic break. Smith, with experience from the Ottawa Senators, and Greene, with eight years in the Kings organization, are expected to bring fresh energy to the bench. The Kings plan to explore trade options for scoring help before the deadline, hoping these changes spark a turnaround in the Western Conference race.
