Tri-City update

And then there was one . . .
The Tri-City Americans are the only one of the WHL’s 22 teams without a head coach at the present time.
And it seems that Bob Tory, although he has started the interview process, isn’t anywhere near panic mode as he searches for one.
Tory has been looking for a head coach since Don Nachbaur resigned after six seasons to step in as head coach of the Binghamton Senators, the AHL affiliate of the NHL’s Ottawa Senators.
Tory said Sunday that he has “done five intense interviews and may re-interview the top candidates.” He added that he may “add one or two more to the pool.”
Tory said he doesn’t expect to make an announcement before Aug. 1, which just happens to be Saturday, and that it could take “until Aug. 15.”
There isn’t likely to be an announcement this week as Tory will spend Wednesday in Kelowna attending the Western Conference’s scheduling meeting.
Once the Americans have a new head coach under contract, it will mean that eight teams will have changed coaches, for one reason or another, since last season ended.
Four teams also have replaced their general managers.
