The former LA Kings head coach wanted to pass along this message:

I would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Anschutz, Dan Beckerman and the entire Kings organization for the opportunity to be a part of the Kings family for the past nine years.

It was an honor and a privilege to work with the players, coaches and support staff who were so dedicated and committed to the process of winning.

My family and I will leave here with nothing but gratitude and respect for this first class organization.

All the best to the Kings and a sincere Thank You.

- John Stevens
