Butch Goring, who was coaching the Boston Bruins at the start of the National Hockey League season, was named coach of the Spokane Chiefs.
The 16-year NHL veteran, who played for the Kings, the New York Islanders and the Bruins, was given a two-year contract by the Western Hockey League club.
Goring said he had never been to Spokane until three weeks ago, when he began negotiations with Chief General Manager Bob Strumm.
