Ontario also announced the additions of Cole Lussier, who will replace Schuler as the Video Coach and Team Services Specialist, as well as Andre Carere, who has been hired as Head Strength and Conditioning Coach. As a player, Schuler played professionally with the CHL’s Denver Cutthroats and the SPHL’s Huntsville Havoc following a four-season career at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. The New Jersey native was also an assistant coach in the NCAA ranks at the University of Maine during the 2017-18 season and served in the same role for two seasons at Middlebury College. Schuler also has a season of coaching experience as an assistant coach with the ECHL’s Manchester Monarchs during the 2018-19 season, as he helped lead the team to the second round of the 2019 Kelly Cup Playoffs. Schuler has been working with Kings prospects and Reign players in an on-ice capacity for the better part of two seasons now, in addition to his work on the video side, as well as last season on the bench during games. “He has a great rapport with our coaching staff and will continue to be part of our goal to develop players for the NHL and win hockey games.” “We are excited to have Brad build off the work he did in a more hands-on role last season,” Ontario Reign General Manager Richard Seeley said. With Johnson now a member of the Anaheim Ducks organization, Schuler joins Hajt as a permenant assistant coach on Sturm’s staff. When the Reign staff underwent a midseason transformation, due to John Wroblewski’s personal absence, Schuler stepped behind the bench for the remainder of the season alongside assistant coaches Chris Hajt and Craig Johnson. Schuler started with Ontario in the video coaching position back in 2019, serving in that capacity for three seasons, through last year officially. The most notable move was the promotion of Brad Schuler from Video Coach to Assistant Coach, joining Marco Sturm’s staff for the upcoming season. The Ontario Reign made an announcement on Friday with three coaching “transactions” if you will, all impacting the AHL staff heading into this season. Before we get into that, however, recapping a story from over the weekend, when the Ontario Reign announced a few updates regarding their coaching staff for the 2022-23 season. The rookies hit the ice in a few days here in El Segundo, before departing for San Jose to take part in the 2022 Rookie Faceoff beginning on Friday. There is LA Kings hockey this week……I repeat, there is LA Kings hockey THIS WEEK!
