“I am really excited to have Tyson joining the team,” Brick relayed to Hockey News North. “He brings a great hockey mind and a lot of intensity. He will definitely bring a lot to our program and I am excited to get him behind the bench with us. As well, Dylan (King) and Craig (MacDonald) will both be returning as assistants along with Eric Simons on a part time basis.”
