“We are pleased to see Jason Clarke take the reins as the general manager of the team. We’re fortunate that we didn’t have to go through a prolonged search to find a qualified individual who understood our organization.”

“I would like to thank the owners for this tremendous opportunity. The people of Bathurst have made my family and I feel very welcome and apart of the community since day one. We are very excited to call Bathurst home. I have some very big shoes to fill in replacing Sly Couturier. He has left this team in a very good position, and it will be my job to continue to move this franchise forward. This community loves this hockey team and as a franchise we need to make them proud of how we conduct ourselves on and off the ice.”
