UNB Reds Thread (Part5)

[Drummer]

He also applied for the UNB job twice and only got the job the second time after Murray Nystrom decided not to come… Really wonder how things would have played out in that alternate reality .

I’d never heard anything official on him applying in Moncton but I figured “where there’s smoke there’s fire” since his name seemingly was floating around every time.

Coach Mac also had his name in at Regina in 2000. He almost ended up there had Murray taken too long to change his mind.

From Xwitter:

After an impressive playing career, Cameron Critchlow has been named head coach of the EIHL's Manchester Storm!
Critchlow played with the Storm since 2019 and was a fan favourite as soon as he put the jersey on.

Like most things with new teams/leagues, I'll wait to see how it unfolds. I haven't got my spot picked out yet for the Championship parade.

In fairness Junior.A teams like pro teams almost always fail… Think of all the cities that are on seemingly AHL/ECHL team #50.

Thanks for posting this! Interesting take for sure and whether or not the style can translate to the NHL.

Things sure do move fast. A year ago I think many of us were thinking he could never possibly leave UNB!
