KARRY BIETTE OUT IN ESTEVAN

http://www.estevanbruins.com/news_item.aspx?news_id=3942

This is a big season for the Bruins, as they've struggled in recent years and many believe pieces have been put in place for this club to make a long playoff run.

However, it's Yorkton that is sitting pretty atop the conference while the Bruins are in a dogfight with Weyburn and Kindersley simply to stay in the top three.  Traditionally, Dwight McMillan doesn't start the season until about now anyway and the Klippers look rejuvenated after their coaching change last month.

To me, this decision further amplifies the feeling around Estevan and the need for this team to make some playoff noise.  A 4th vs. 5th series against a dangerous team like Melville wouldn't cut it.

On a personal note, I really enjoyed working with Karry Biette when I had the Communications role with the SJHL.  He, easily, ranked amongst my favorites to deal with.  He's an entertaining guy and I feel bad it didn't work out better for him with the Bruins.

  2. Thats a bunch of BS anon #1. Tired of hearing that one. He made bold statements before the season started, and is underachieveing with a very skilled Bruins team. Karry made his bed, now has to sleep in it. Never won a playoff series while at the helm of the Bruins.
