LA Kings Jaret Anderson-Dolan

Yesterday afternoon, the Ontario Reign released a statement saying that head coach John Wroblewski would be taking a personal leave of absence for an undetermined period.

While Wroblewski takes his time away from the rink, Chris Hajt and Craig Johnson will assume leadership roles in the interim.

We’re hoping for the best for John and hope he takes all the time he needs.

The Coyotes responded by saying it was “human error,” and they were sorry and would pay what was owed today.
