Do you have a single link to verify any of this? Because she started coaching women's hockey 10 years ago. Not sure how she'd be around the organization "off and on" for 20 years. Played a game in the IHL 15 years ago. No quote from staff or her about how well they know her or previous contributions.
I think it’s probably about half and half going back that far I guess.
Sorry, you apparently didn't know Murray had played alongside Blake for several years, thus showing a previous working relationship. But here's a link with a confirmation of their friendship that's not behind a paywall: Rob Blake: 'It was a dream and I can sit up here and say I was lucky enough to live it' - Working the Corners
Were they very good? Didn't they lose out in the little play-in "playoff" tournament thing at the end of the COVID season?
Wroblewski went on a leave of absence Dec 8, 2021 and never returned. There were no playoffs the first year he was hired. They were 12-5 in the season at the time he left.
17-19-4 in his first season and I'm pretty sure they lost in the "fake playoffs" tournament they had at the end of the season. Now, it isn't about W/Ls when you hire this guy because it is about the development and that team had Kaliyev, Byfield etc. I watched that first season though which is why I had to ask if they were good since I don't remember them being a winning team in his first season.
And you had nothing to substantiate it. And when asked, you instead asked me to give a link to Murray and Blake's friendship that a quick search would have yielded.

Manon Rheaume, who played goalie in an exhibition for the Tampa Bay Lightning 30 years ago, is now a member of the Kings' player development department.

So unless you have something more substantial than mutual friends with Robitaille and being on a panel for gender equality night, I don't know why anyone should believe your claim of "plenty of ties" to the organization.
I could argue that Will Ferrell and Snoop Dogg have "plenty of ties" as well if we're talking about involvement with the Kings and management.
I think its Luc wanted someone to speak a little francais and tick the diversity checkbox .. with bergovin now he has a little group of quebecois expats to hang withAnd you had nothing to substantiate it.

I'll never, ever understand why any time a woman gets hired it's only because of diversity. It's wild.
I tell myself that I am actually promoting diversity each time I call an escort
