Marco Sturm
Head Coach of Ontario Reign
Marco Sturm was the first German-born player to be taken in the first round of the NHL draft, going 21st overall to the San Jose Sharks in 1996. Averaging between 35-50 points a season, Marco enjoyed more than seven (7) years with the Sharks before being traded to the Boston Bruins during the 2005-2006 season. Relatively unknown to the Eastern Conference, Sturm immediately became a favorite of the loyal Boston fans as a result of his lightning speed, intense play, and exciting goal celebrations. The one (1) time NHL All-Star was the head coach of the German National Hockey Team where he led the team to two quarterfinal appearances in 2016 and 2017. He is now the head coach of the Ontario Reign, the AHL affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings of the NHL.
