A new league executive, new location for the Thunder Bay Northern Hawks and year two for the Current River Storm.
“That was definitely one of the positives [of last season] was seeing the Storm get their first season under their belt, and hopefully they'll be even better going forward,” Gribben said. “There's been a coaching change, I believe that Rick Baraniuk is going to be taking over,” said Gribben. “We're hoping that with a coaching change, they might find some stability. That was one of the biggest changes for them last year, the coach Kris Reginato, had other commitments that he needed to attend to. Anytime at the junior level, when you're in a state of flux at the head coaching position, it can often drive that down to the rest of your organization.
The Tournament Centre will have one less tenant this season as the Thunder Bay Northern Hawks will make the Fort William Gardens their home. Gribben added that having a franchise in the downtown Intercity area playing out of the Gardens could potentially drive a new fan base to the league. “With any expansion, there's always the unknowns, and those will always be in the back of your mind going into the season,” Gribben said. “We have been focused on creating the teams, helping them be stable and competitive, [while] driving parity into the league. [If there] any other groups that might be interested in coming into the league will never take it lightly. But right now, the focus is on our five groups moving forward.
