AAA Stars to name new head coach within two weeks
The Battlefords AAA Stars will soon name their new head coach according to Chairman Bruce Yockey.
The search for a new bench boss began at the end of April when it was announced that long-time coaches Martin Smith and Jody Reiter wouldn’t be returning to the team due to scheduling conflicts with personal commitments.
“We’ve interviewed six applicants over the past two weeks and met as a board again so now we’re in a situation where we’ll probably narrow it down to the top three candidates,” Yockey said. “We’re going to go through this slowly to get a person we’re comfortable with.”
Yockey said the applicants they’ve received have been highly qualified for the job, stating they’ve received applicants who have experience as head coaches and assistant coaches at levels ranging from Bantam to Junior.
