Lou Lamoriello begins his sixth or seventh career by joining the Islanders

Lou Lamoriello finally has a job after being unemployed for perhaps the longest period in his entire life. His position with the New York Islanders, where his son is the Assistant General Manager, has not been clearly defined, but it marks his latest career after a long list of hockey jobs dating back decades.

Lamoriello played hockey at Providence College in the sixties, and he played only one year of pro post-college. He is reported to have been a math teacher at some point, so perhaps he fit that into the two years he was out of the hockey world between the end of the 1966 season and the start of his second hockey career at Providence, this time as the head coach beginning in 1968.
