Is Micheal Dyck still an assistant coach with the Giants? He is not listed under their coaches. I understand he is in the running for the Head coaches job with Lethbridge. Anybody else hear this?

I did some digging...no truth to the rumours at all.

Best of luck to Michael in Lethbridge, except of course when the Giants come to town.

I stand corrected. Was I ever given the bums' rush. Ah well... it happens. Negotiations were still on going at that point. Good Luck Michael. It is great to see one of the good guys in the WHL succeed.
