The Storm have fired coach and general manager Matt Hughes. Board member Chris Luhtala explains the reasoning behind the decision.
“With missing the playoffs and certain recent events in the AJHL, it brought to life a conversation that potentially the next year needs to be a very big year for us, and that we would be maybe requiring someone with more experience at that position.”
The Storm were 21-36-3 under Hughes’ guidance this year, and missed the AJHL playoffs for the first time in team history.
