THE COACHING/SCOUTING GAME: For a complete update on what’s happening with the Regina Pats, check out the Regina Leader-Post’s superb coverage. It’s right here. . . . The package includes a piece on just who is the leading candidate to be their next head coach (hint: he’s a former WHL scoring champion) and an update on the health of general manager Brent Parker. . . . As was speculated in this space a while back, Brad McEwan is the new head scout for the Medicine Hat Tigers. He replaces Bill McLellan, who is looking to lessen his workload. McLellan is the father of San Jose Sharks head coach Todd McLellan. McEwan is a former GM and head coach with the Swift Current Broncos. . . . Former NHL defenceman Brian Curran, who played in the WHL with the Portland Winter Hawks, is the new GM/head coach of the AJHL’s Brooks Bandits. He replaces Kevin Higo who left for an assistant coaching position with the Moose Jaw Warriors.
