King coached Canada's National Junior Team to a gold medal in 1982 and Canada's Men's Olympic hockey team to a silver medal in 1992 and bronze medal in 2018.

In recognition of his contributions to the game with the national teams, Hockey Canada named him to the Order of Hockey in Canada as part of its 2013 class.

Check out Dave's latest book, Loose Pucks and Ice Bags: How and why the game has changed. It's an excellent read for coaches and parents at any level as he covers topics like "Can we teach hockey sense?" and "Think Fast, Play Fast."
