The Denver Post reported today that former Kings forward Adam Deadmarsh has been named video/development coach of the Colorado Avalanche. Deadmarsh, of course, was also a member of the Avalanche before he got traded to the Kings in 2001.

“My family and I are excited to come back to Denver,” Deadmarsh said in a team press release. “Hockey has always been my life, and it’s great to begin my coaching career with the franchise I won a Stanley Cup with.”

The Avalanche also named former NHLer Steve Konowalchuk as an assistant to new coach Joe Sacco.
