Lorne Molleken expressed a desire to coach again – preferably in the WHL – almost from the time he left the Saskatoon Blades’ bench.
One of the league’s winningest coaches got his wish Monday as the Vancouver Giants officially made him their sixth coach in team history. A press conference is scheduled for Tuesday.
“It was a long winter last year,” Molleken said in a phone interview from Vancouver. “I’m real excited to be back coaching again. After doing it for basically 27 years, I really missed it.”
Molleken joins a team he nearly signed with last fall.
