The Waywayseecappo Wolverines of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League have announced their new bench boss.The Chief and Council of the Waywayseecappo First Nation and the Wolverines organization have appointed Landyn Cochrane as the team’s sixth Head Coach and General Manager in its history.
The 27-year-old from Silverton, Manitoba, served as an assistant coach last year under Taylor Harnett, who resigned from the team after seven years back in July.
“Continuity is vital for us moving forward”, said Wolverines’ Governor Morley Watson. “Landyn is local, deeply involved in community events, works as a substitute teacher at the local school, and frequently attends community activities.”
Cochrane played for the Wolverines from 2014 to 2017 before spending five seasons with the ACHA’s Minot State Beavers before beginning his coaching career last season.
“It’s a great honor to be the new coach of the Wolverines”, Cochrane shared. “Taylor made the transition seamless for me after learning from him this past year. It feels fitting to be back in Waywayseecappo after spending most of my junior career here. It’s always felt like a second home.”
The new Head Coach will lead the Wolverines onto the ice for the start of training camp on August 29th.
