Brad Lauer named chief of Spokane Chiefs, The Chameleon introduces all-ages venue; Plus, new music!
When the Spokane Chiefs return to the ice this season, a new face will be guiding the team. Well... sort of a new face. After the team dismissed head coach Ryan Smith in May, the organization has tapped Brad Lauer (pictured) to be the new man in charge. Laurer is certainly no newbie to the Western Hockey League. He led the Edmonton Oil Kings to the Ed Chynoweth Cup in the 2021-22 season, and no coach in league history has a higher winning percentage (.742). After spending the last two seasons as an assistant coach for the NHL's Winnipeg Jets, he looks to bring his winning ways to the Lilac City. Considering the Chiefs haven't won a playoff game since the 2018-19 campaign, the injection of a winning mindset is just what the franchise needs. (SETH SOMMERFELD)
