The Parkland U18 Rangers are extremely excited to announce that they've locked up their coaching staff for the 2020-2021 season and the staff is full of Dauphin.
After ending this past season as interim head coach, Tyler Carefoot is set to return as co-head coach. He's also the President of the Dauphin Minor Hockey Association.
Tyler will be joined by Rick Freese who led the Dauphin Clippers to the Westman High School Hockey League final this past season. The Dauphin duo will share head coaching duties.
Back in 2004, Tyler was an assistant coach for the club for two seasons. He has also spent extensive time as a AA coach within Dauphin minor.
Rick has lived in the Parkland for the past 12 years and as mentioned above, he was the bench boss for the Clippers this past season, a team that enjoyed a ton of success and were set to play for a league title.
As a AAA player, Freese played with the Norman Northstars, a team Parkland plays a few times throughout the season. He also played in two Royal Bank Cup championships as a junior-hockey player.
The Rangers Board of Directors had the following to say.
"We are extremely excited to have these two outstanding gentlemen as a part of our organization. We are eagerly looking forward to working with them moving forward,"
Stay tuned as we'll be joined by both Tyler and Rick early next week.
