Getting to know Brayden Klimosko
The North Stars’ new head coach and general manager Brayden Klimosko said he expects to be a hands-on coach and continue the team’s winning tradition.
Klimosko’s appointment was announced at a press conference Tuesday. He takes over from outgoing coach Brandon Heck, who had just one season behind the Stars’ bench. On the ice, Klimosko played in the SJHL with the Humboldt Broncos for three seasons from 2006 until 2008. In 2007 and 2008 Klimosko was a part of the league championship team and he won the Anavet Cup and a national championship in 2008 with the Broncos.
Behind the bench, Klimosko began his coaching career in his hometown with the Humboldt Broncos as an assistant coach and assistant GM, and served as their Marketing Manager from 2013 until 2017. Most recently, Klimosko was the assistant coach of the Drumheller Dragons in the AJHL, where they went 33-22-5 for third place in the Viterra South Division.
During the press conference yesterday, Klimosko answered many questions about his decision to join the North Stars.
