Cleveland Tier 1 AAA Hockey – Saturday April 24^th – For Immediate Release

The ’99 Cleveland Jr. Lumberjacks have officially announced their coaching staff for the 2010-2011 season and it will come as no surprise that the boys will be in very capable hands heading into what should prove to be an exciting spring and regular season.

Longtime ’99 Jr. Jacks assistant Rob Krueger will once again return for another campaign overseeing the defense and goaltending.  Coach “Sunshine” is well-loved by the players and anyone who knows Coach Krueger knows the feeling is mutual.

Assistant Coach Phil Ryder is a new addition to the ’99 Jr. Jacks staff but not new to the hockey circles around Cleveland.  Phil has played and coached for over 30 years and brings a wealth of experience to the table.  Phil has coached for the Barons for many years and was also head coach at St. Ignatius for several seasons.  Phil’s four older sons have all played high school, junior and college hockey.

“It’s great to have Rob back and I am excited that Phil has agreed to join the staff”, commented Head Coach Bill Menges.  “Phil’s boys are older and he was interested in getting back to coaching the young guys and helping them develop into better hockey players.  Welcome aboard, Phil.”
