Kings Name Bruce McNall President

Bruce McNall, who purchased a 49% interest of the Los Angeles Kings last fall, has been named president of the National Hockey League team, majority owner Jerry Buss announced Tuesday.

“I welcome Bruce to the management team of the Kings,” Buss said in a statement. “This is a case of two partners who have shared great joy when the Kings have won and who will now share the burdens of management.”

McNall, 37, is a noted coin and stamp collector who has made successful investments in the entertainment and horse racing industries.

Meanwhile, the Kings announced that Luc Robitaille, the team’s leading scorer and NHL rookie of the year last season, has signed a new multiyear contract.
