The vacancy on the Vancouver Canucks’ coaching staff, created by Manny Malhotra’s departure in the fall, has been filled.

Jason King, who grew up in Corner Brook and who once drew notice as a winger for the Sedin twins leading to the trio being dubbed The Mattress Line—two twins and a king—has been promoted from the Utica Comets to serve as an assistant coach to Canucks head coach Travis Green.

King has been on the Comets’ staff since 2016-17, which was Green’s final year as Utica’s head coach. He’d spent the three seasons before that with the St. John’s Ice Caps.
