Mintos wish Leonard luck with Raiders
Tim Leonard has had a lot of success with the Prince Albert Mintos and like he said on Wednesday, has little left to prove at the Midget AAA level.
In just seven years as the head coach, Leonard led the Mintos to back-to-back Telus Cup Championships in 2006 and 2007, three Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League championships and two Western Canadian championships.
As a result with all the success, Leonard has moved up to the Western Hockey League, accepting an assistant coaching position with the Prince Albert Raiders as announced Wednesday.
“I think it’s a great move for Tim,” said Mintos president Zenon Markowski. “I think it’s a situation for the Mintos that we helped a gentleman to move on to the next level and I think that’s what we’re all about—players and coaches, for sure.”
