Paul Thomson leaves Coventry

[harlan]

Well sort of.....

He is going to Sweden to be assistant coach at Troja-Ljungby but he will still be Director of Hockey Operations at the Blaze and will have responsibility for hiring the new coach and also for recruiting the team for next season.

Sounds like he is leaving the door fully ajar for a return if it either goes tits up in Sweden or in Coventry with his team and a new coach

He will be responsible for recruiting the team? Really?

That seems odd. Hire a load of guys and then scoot off to Scandinavia leaving someone else to coach them. I appreciate he has a financial stake in the club but this just seems plain odd. Would suggest however that the replacement is coming from within the organisation. Personally I'd wager a bet that it'll be Matt Soderstrom for continuities sake.

Or somebody with strong Blaze links like Cloutier or Danny Stewart
