OKANAGAN HOCKEY ACADEMY: THE COACH SHUFFLE

The Alberni Valley Bulldogs President Andy Oakes is pleased to announce the appointment of Bryant Perrier as the teams New General Manager.

“Obviously our organization is not happy with the teams current record and a change needed to happen in order to get the team on the right track. This is a move made to improve the structure of the organization. Bryant has been given the role as we feel given the right responsibility and accountability he will get the team turned in the right direction. “

“I would like to thank Alan Kerr for his effort and energies as the teams General Manager over the last year and a half.” Andy Oakes, President.

4 days later James Kerr was traded to the Vipers in "fairness" management said.

So they take the guy with a losing record, an owner, and shuffle him over to the development program in Penticton, BC.  This feels a lot like the Catholic Church.

ALAN KERR FIRED AS PORT ALBERNI BULLDOGS GM!

We would really like to get to the bottom of this story. Okanagan Hockey Academy has claimed Alan Kerr has returned to Penticton as part of their long range coaching plan to develop the younger age groups. Kerr was arguably the worst coach in Bulldog history for favouring his son, James Kerr, with copious amounts of ice time at the detriment of the development of other players.  How many head coaches in the BCHL are permitted to coach their own sons? Shouldn't this nonsense end at PeeWee level?

Kerr was fired from the Bulldogs as GM and James Kerr was immediately traded.

 Kerr is now in Penticton working with the OHA Major Midget team which includes his younger boy Nicholas and a nephew, Chris Kerr. How strong are the blood lines when it comes to favouritism? Is Kerr up to his same bag of tricks?
