"Adding someone with the playing acumen Bear has will be a nice fit to our team. He has played where many players say they would like to be Division 1 hockey", said Head Coach/GM Clint Mylymok.  "Bear was a very talented player in the SJHL and university. Having him on the ice and on the bench with our players will be extremely beneficial. He shares the same goals we have as a program, which is helping guide players to the next step of playing college hockey in Canada or the U.S."
 
Bear currently works in the Private Investment industry for Raintree Financial Solutions out of Regina, and is looking forward to getting involved with the coaching aspect of hockey.

"I am really looking forward to getting involved again at the SJHL level, with a league that did a lot for me.  I am excited about sharing my passion, knowledge, and contact base with the kids in our program.  I am thankful to Clint for the opportunity to get back with the SJHL and look forward to helping build a winning program at ND."

The Hounds kick off training camp September 5.
