North Stars hire local Owen Lamb as assistant coach
The Battlefords North Stars announced the hiring of a new assistant coach on Friday.
The Jr. A hockey club has named Battleford’s native Owen Lamb as their new assistant coach after Garry Childerhose was recently promoted to Head Coach and General Manager.
“Like many young hockey fans in our community, I grew up idolizing the North Stars,” said Lamb in a release. “Having had the privilege to play junior hockey here in my hometown, I now have the incredible opportunity to give back to both the organization and the community that shaped me. I’m eager to start this journey, connect with the players and staff, and work together to improve every day.”
Growing up as a fan of the Stars, Lamb also played for his hometown team from 2016-2019, appearing in 164 games and notching 44 goals and 47 assists. Following his time in the Black and Silver, he played for the University of Alberta Augustana in the ACAC where he spent five seasons upon graduating this past April.
