His coaching career includes experience at the U15 and U18 levels, he also served as an assistant coach with the Prince George Spruce Kings.

Minardi is thanking the Bucks for bringing him into the herd.

View a statement from the Cranbrook Bucks below:

Our goal has always been to add a second full-time Assistant Coach to our staff to offer a deeper player development experience here in Cranbrook, and Colin checked a lot of the boxes that we were looking for in this process.

“I’m extremely excited to be joining the Bucks organization. This is a first class organization with great people involved.” says Bucks newest Assistant Coach, Colin Minardi. “The team is poised to take the next steps after what they accomplished this season. Ryan Donald is a great coach and I’m excited to be working with and learning from both him and Myles Fitzgerald. I would like to thank Ryan, Nathan Lieuwen and the rest of the Bucks organization for the opportunity and I can’t wait to get to Cranbrook and get to work.”

“We are excited to add Colin to our staff this coming season.  We feel that Colin will be able to round out our coaching staff nicely with his previous experience at the BCHL and U18 levels, as well as his strong skill and skating development background.” says Head Coach Ryan Donald.

We look forward to having Colin join us in Cranbrook and continue to build upon the tradition that we have established here in Cranbrook.
