Anyone know if Kris Newberry kept his job as an assistant coach after all the Hockey Canada bullying accusations and punishment?

No consequences here...
Buddy buddy

 

[ScoutLife4]

Hopefully he's fully committed to the team.
he is a guy that overcommits himself and becomes unreliable to everyone.
Last winter he took a U16 AAA team HC job for QRD, Assistant coach for JR A Trenton Golden Hawks and played Men's Sr A on the Deseronto Bulldogs all while working at World Elite hockey academy before bailing on them all half way through the season only to be suspended as a coach in Windsor. lol

No consequences here...

I think it was a month or 2 suspension from all HC sanctioned events if i remember correctly.

As discussed earlier. Spits had pegged Walters as coach and he was going to bring Newbury. Just so happened both get suspended. The spotlight will be quite bright.

One. Week.

Countdown??

Imagine if he showed up at camp, even just to say hello?

Current bid for the items - $18,000! That's amazing.

Great news for the charity.
Not affordable for common person.

Wright was a plus player for Windsor that accumulated 37 pts in 20 games, look elsewhere for a scapegoat.

Brett Harrison….
Way overrated, huge bust, will never make the show. And gave up way too much for him

Brantford Bulldogs get a big time import in Adam Jiricek.

So I'm not sure why you posted this on the Windsor thread? Maybe you meant to post it on the Brantford thread?

No this goes back to an earlier discussion where the 2 rebuilds were being compared. As a reference point Brantford went with 1 import last year and took Jiricek and kept his rights. Windsor decided on sticking with Eichler instead of making a possible big splash.

I've already moved past that, more concerned about defense and who's going to coach them.
