With the SJHL trade deadline quickly approaching and the 2011 portion of the season underway, teams are quickly trying to decide which direction they want to go for the remainder of the season.
Monday, it was announced the Estevan Bruins would be moving in a new direction, as the team president asked Karry Biette to submit his resignation.
"It would be tough to find someone more dedicated to the organization than Karry," said club president Jeff Pierson in a press release. "He has done an excellent job as general manager handling the day-to-day business of the club. However that has not translated to wins as of late and we felt it was time to make this decision."
The Bruins' assistant coach Chad Leslie has been promoted to head coach on an interim basis. He will share the GM duties with current director of player personnel Rick Oakes. Sean Garagan will remain with the team as an assistant.
The Bruins lost two of three games on the weekend against Weyburn, who they trail by three points in the Sherwood Conference. The Bruins are fourth in the conference with an 18-16-2-2 record while Weyburn are second.
