The Moncton Wildcats named Darren Rumble their new head
coach earlier this week.
Rumble had a long pro hockey career, playing 193 games in
the NHL and many more in the AHL and other leagues. According to the Wildcats website, “he started his coaching career in 2004 with the Springfield Falcons
of the AHL and has over nine years of solid coaching experience including two
as Head Coach with the Norfolk Admirals. His most recent assignment was as an
assistant coach in the WHL with the Seattle Thunderbirds.”
His coaching career also includes a stop in Lewiston
where he was an assistant coach with the Maineiacs (R.I.P.).
Here’s the press conference:
Rumble takes over for Danny Flynn who was relieved of his
coaching duties a few months ago.
