Battlefords AAA Stars seeking new head coach
After four years with the Battlefords AAA Stars, Jody Reiter has stepped down as head coach along with Martin Smith, the team’s assistant coach.
The Stars posted on their Twitter account April 29 they were looking for candidates to replace Reiter. Chairman Bruce Yockey says it was disappointing to hear both coaches had to step down.
“Family, career, that’s where stuff was kind of causing havoc,” Yockey said. “It’s just a time commitment that was causing some issues. (Smith) and (Reiter) both have other commitments and it was starting to create too much problem for them personally to continue to dedicate that amount of time.”
Yockey said the team wants to hire a head coach in the interim before looking to hire an assistant.
