Bits of business have slowly been wrapped up all over the organization as we near the true doldrums of the offseason, and another pretty significant piece was announced today. The Phantoms announced that their coaching staff for next season has fully come together, with John Snowden getting the nod with the promotion to Head Coach, while Terrence Wallin and Nick Schultz will fill out the staff as his assistants.
These are all names that, for one reason or another, might feel familiar. Snowden served as an assistant coach for the Phantoms over the last two seasons, after spending five seasons in Toronto’s organization (during which he spent three seasons with the ECHL Growlers, and won a Kelly Cup, and then two behind the Marlies’ bench as an assistant).
