Islanders ECHL affiliate makes GM and coaching change
The New York Islanders ECHL affiliate, Worcester Railers, have made a front-office change by hiring a new general manager and head coach.
With a 5-12-3 record the Worcester Railers, the ECHL affiliate to the New York Islanders, find themselves at the bottom of the ECHL. With that, Team President Michael Myers decided to make a change. The team's general manager and head coach Jamie Russell has been relieved of his duties. His replacement is David Cunniff.
Cunniff will take on both the GM and head coaching roles that Rivers previously held.
Jamie Russell had been with the Railers for about three seasons. In that time Russell had a 73-66-20 record and got the Railers to the postseason once.
