Former North Iowa Outlaws head coach Jeff Crouse was hired as assistant coach of the Alexandria Blizzard per the Alexandria newspaper. Read the article here: http://www.echopress.com/event/article/id/67307/ (I think you'll have to register for a free account to read the article).
My take: On the surface this looks like a good hire by new Blizzard head coach Doc DelCastillo. He's bringing in a guy that has several years of coaching experience in the Central Division and has been a head coach in the NAHL. On top of that, I believe Crouse is originally from Alexandria. However, the question that lingers in my mind is: Why did Crouse get fired in North Iowa after only one season?? Yes, they lost in the first round of the playoffs to our favorite junior hockey team, but it's not like the Outlaws had a horrible season. What did the Outlaw's management see that led to his departure??
As the days go by, and I see assistant coach positions being filled throughout the junior hockey world, I am getting progressively more anxious to see who Cullen will hire as the Express assistant coach.
See you at the rink.
