The Yellowhead Chiefs AAA Midget Male Hockey Club are pleased to announce the hiring of assistant coach Garth Mitchell.  Mitchell comes back to the Chiefs program after three seasons away while he was on staff with the Virden Oil Capitals of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League.  Mitchell was also the head coach of the Chiefs for eight seasons.  

Yellowhead head coach Craig Geekie said the club is thrilled to add a coach of his talent, skill set and experience to his staff.  

“It will be a thrill to work alongside someone who has coached at various levels and has such respect in the coaching world. He brings a wealth of knowledge to the organization and I’m very excited to have Garth on board,” noted Geekie. 

The club expects to name one more assistant coach before the regular season starts. The Yellowhead Chiefs have also announced that the fall selection camp for the AAA Midget hockey club has been set for September 11-13 at the Shoal Lake Communiplex.
