Ken Holland

The Los Angeles Kings have named Ken Holland the 10th General Manager in franchise history, while also taking on the additional title of Vice President.

“As we did our due diligence, we identified Ken as the absolute best option and acted decisively to make him our General Manager,” said President Luc Robitaille. “His track record of success is undeniable and after our conversations with him, we were clearly convinced he was the right person for us at this time. He has the experience to lead us on the proper path that will help us win now and compete for the Stanley Cup.”

Holland joins the Kings as the fifth-winningest general manager in NHL history, accumulating an all-time regular-season record of 1,145-644-272 (.622 PTS %) over 26 seasons between the Detroit Red Wings (1997-2019) and Edmonton Oilers (2019-24).

He joins the Kings following his most recent five-year stint with Edmonton where he managed the team to five consecutive postseason berths, including three 100-point seasons and a trip to the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals.

This past season, Holland worked as a Consultant for the NHL’s Hockey Operations Department.
