Leafs president and GM Brian Burke announced Friday that Gord Dineen and Derek King have been named assistant coaches of the Maple Leafs’ AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies.
Dineen and King will work under Dallas Eakins, who was named Marlies head coach on August 4.
Dineen coached the Iowa Chops last season, guiding the team to a 33-33-14 record. King, who played 161 games in a Leafs uniform between 1997-2000, had a 14-year playing career, and previously served as a player-assistant coach for the Grand Rapids Griffins between 2002 and 2004.
