Jack Jablonski joins staff of LA Kings

After years of dreaming of signing an NHL contract, Jack Jablonski did just that Thursday, albeit in a different capacity than he envisioned.

Jablonski joined the Los Angeles Kings full-time as a content coordinator, he said Thursday.

I had always dreamed of signing an NHL contract. Unfortunately, that dream was taken away 8 yrs ago. Today, I’m proud to share that I’ve started a full time job with the @LAKings as a Content Coordinator & working in podcasting, radio and TV! Thank u to all who have helped me. pic.twitter.com/emurjY8zf4
