Some very surprising news came out of Nanaimo during the Christmas break that I haven't talked about on here yet - hey, sorry, I was on my holiday break, just like Mike!
If you weren't aware, the Clippers fired Mike Vandekamp as Head Coach and GM and replaced him with recently installed Director of Hockey Ops Darren Naylor. Despite the recent changes to the organization's ownership and management, this is a surprise, especially considering the time of year and the Clippers place in the standings. Some may argue it's not a surprise at the same time, considering the time of year and the changes to the team's ownership and management structure.
Mike never treated me with anything but the utmost professionalism and class, and that's certainly saying something considering that he was the Coach of the Bulldogs most bitter rival, and the overall emotional nature of this game.
Best of luck to Mike and his family moving forward, and a sincere thank you.
