More from Friday

As noted earlier today, the Chilliwack Bruins made a move with their scouting staff, moving Garry Pochipinski from scouting co-ordinator to director of scouting. Pochipinski, from Prince Albert, had been one of the team’s three scouting co-ordinators, along with Rob Morphy of Kamloops and Jim Nadon Sr., of Regina. . . . The Bruins have gone from having three heads running their scouting staff to just one. . . . And talking to one of their scouts today left the definite impression that there will be more changes to come.

The Everett Silvertips have filled the vacancy on their coaching staff by hiring Mark LeRose as assistant coach. He will work under head coach John Becanic and with associate head coach Jay Varady. LeRose was involved in setting up the testing protocol that is used at the NHL scouting combine and has coaching experience with the USHL’s Sioux Falls Stampede and the U of Wisconsin Badgers. The vacancy was created when head coach Kevin Constantine left for the AHL’s Houston Aeros and Becanic and Varady were promoted.
