Late Thursday evening, it was announced Reign General Manager Rich Seeley has moved on to the Canucks organization.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">General Manager Ryan Johnson announced today that the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Canucks?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#Canucks<\/a> have named Richard Seeley General Manager of the Abbotsford Canucks and Assistant General Manager of the Vancouver Canucks. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CCtHci3d07\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/CCtHci3d07<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Vancouver Canucks (@Canucks) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Canucks\/status\/2065218939656032391?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">June 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It comes as a little bit of a surprise, if for no other reason than Seeley\u2019s long ties to the LA franchise. Originally selected by the Kings in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft (sixth round), he went on to play over 300 games in the Kings system and served as captain of AHL Manchester for two seasons.<\/p>\n<p>He later spent time behind the bench, coming with a three-year run as Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations when the Monarchs transitioned to an ECHL affiliate. The high water mark of that era came when he guided he team to an Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, Seeley was General Manager of the Reign for eight seasons. Now, the British Columbia native will be back in the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n<p>No word yet on what direction Ontario will go when it comes to filling the vacancy this creates. More to come.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mayorsmanor\" data-show-count=\"true\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Follow @mayorsmanor<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MORE LA KINGS NEWS:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mayorsmanor.com\/2026\/06\/mock-ups-and-details-regarding-new-ontario-reign-jerseys\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mock-Ups and Details Regarding new Ontario Reign Jerseys<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Note to webmasters\/reporters: When recapping news or interviews from this site please remember to include a link to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.MayorsManor.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.MayorsManor.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This summer\u2019s offseason reshaping of the LA Kings organization continues, and it now extends to AHL Ontario.
