Chiefs name Legein
associate coach
The Spokane Chiefs named Stefan Legein an associate coach ahead of the 2022-23 season. Legein joins head coach Ryan Smith and fellow assistant Dustin Donaghy on the staff.
“I am extremely honored to be joining the Chiefs family — it means a lot to be in a place that has such good people from top to bottom,” Legein said. “With that, I’d like to thank Mr. Brett, Mark [Miles], Matt [Bardsley] and Ryan [Smith] for giving me the opportunity to join a long list of great coaches that have been in Spokane. In speaking with Matt and Ryan, the objectives of the team, as well as my personal beliefs, lined up perfect and I couldn’t be more excited for the opening of the 2022-23 season.”
Legein comes to Spokane from the Saint John Sea Dogs, who won the 2022 Memorial Cup in June. The 33-year-old joined the Sea Dogs coaching staff as an assistant in 2018 after serving as a video coach with the Mississauga Steelheads in 2017.
