It means so much to me to get in here and win this belt in front of this Philadelphia crowd."

Cole McCaig Signs Extension With Brooks

Congratulations to former Flin Flon Bombers player and Assistant Coach Cole McCaig on signing a contract extension with the BCHL Champions Brooks Bandits.

 

The Bandits are fresh off another League Championship after knocking off the Nanaimo Clippers in 5 games to claim the BCHL Cup and are now  back to back Champions.

 

McCaig who was born in Flin Flon and grew up in Brandon joined the Bandits this past season after spending the past 7 seasons in Flin Flon as an Assistant Coach and was also appointed the role of Assistant General Manager in the 2021-22 season.

 

Prior to that, McCaig had a successful playing career starting with the Bombers in 2011 and suiting up for 169 games in the better part of three seasons,  before finishing his Junior career with the Way- Way Wolverines of the MJHL in 2014.

 

Cole's playing career wasn't done as he was able to make the jump to Marian University in Indianapolis Indiana in the NCAA Div 3.

 

McCaig suited up for Marian for four seasons between 2014 and 18 and was named an Assistant Captain in his final season before getting into coaching and scouting.

 

The Bandits have extended Cole for two more seasons and have added the role of Head Of Player Development to go along with being an Assistant Coach.

 

McCaig had this to say about being resigned on the Brooks Bandits website at brooksbandits.net. “I am extremely grateful for all the support shown to me from the Bandits Board of Directors, Wayne Labrie and Dakota Mason. It’s a great opportunity to continue my development as a coach with an elite team in a great league like the BCHL.” 

 

Not much of a summer off for Cole,  as he is currently in Prague in the Czech Republic promoting the BCHL on behalf of the league.

 

I think it is safe to say that Cole has a bright future and will be involved in hockey for a very long time.

Another Signing For The Maroon And White

The Flin Flon Bombers have made another signing as they continue to bolster their lineup as they prepare for their 100th season.

Flin Flon is also getting ready to host a number of events to coincide with their 100th anniversary including the return of the Roller Goodwin Hockey Tournament in July and the SJHL Hall Of Fame Inductions in September.
