The Sudbury Wolves have announced a coaching change as of Oct. 31, with the team saying Craig Duncanson was being “relieved of his duties” as head coach.
Assistant GM Ken Mackenzie, described by the team as one of the most successful coaches in Wolves history, will step in on an interim basis until a new head coach is found.
Duncanson joined the pack in July 2021. A Pack veteran, the Lively native played three seasons with the Wolves from 1983 to 1986, before being drafted to the Los Angeles Kings in the first round, ninth overall in 1985.
“We would like to thank Craig for his time and effort with the team,” said Wolves VP and GM Rob Papineau in a news release. “He holds a special place in our franchise’s history as one of our highest-drafted players and also as an alumnus who coached the team. He is a great person, and we wish him nothing but success with his future endeavours.”
The Sudbury Wolves will get set to begin a seven-game home stand this week as they host the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds on Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. The Wolves will also host a double-header on Friday when they host the Niagara Ice Dogs at 7:05 p.m. and Sunday when the Mississauga Steelheads come to town at 2:05 p.m.
