Head Coach and GM Brad Muise commented on the hiring, “With Jagger, I know we are adding a solid person with strong leadership qualities.  He played for me in Bantam AAA and Major Midget a few years ago and brought a work ethic that was unmatched.  As a player he was known for his tenacious puck pursuit, physical play, hardnosed approach taking pucks to the net and worked smart at both ends of the ice every shift.  His development over the years as a hockey player was incredible to watch and now that same progress is showing in coaching.   He’s a very well respected young man in the community.  He will be a good influence on our young hockey players.  We are very pleased to add him to the staff.”

Harnish will be joining the current staff of Brad Muise , who is returning for his 4^th year as Head Coach with the program.  Adam Masland is returning for his 2^nd year with the program as an associate coach.  A.J.  Mackinnon is also going into his 4^th year with the team as assistant coach.  Head trainer, Paul Whynot is returning for his 3^rd year.  The club has also retained the services of Power Edge Goaltending lead by Jason Knickle for the season.  The Hurricanes organization wish to thank Andrew Holland for his contributions as assistant coach the past two seasons and being a big part of the team’s success.  We also want to wish him all the best with his new coaching position, continuing to develop hockey players in our zone.

Summer Evaluation Camp begins August 21^st at Queens Place Emera Centre in Liverpool.   The hard work players have been doing all summer will be put to the test as they compete for precious roster spots during an intense 3 week camp.  The entire Hurricanes organization is looking forward to the process of finalizing the player roster and to watch the 2013 – 2014 edition carry on the excellent tradition of Hurricane Hockey.
