The Boulder Jr. Bison are pleased to announce that Derek Armstrong has been added to the team Coaching staff and will assist in the development of players through his knowledge, and experiences in the game.
“Army is a true ambassador to the game of hockey, he is passionate and will give everything he has to develop and teach these kids what it takes to make it” stated head coach Brent Cullaton who recently had the opportunity to play in New Zealand with Derek on Team Canada. ” I have played against him and he was our captain on Canada, he is a leader and a very competitive guy, but with that being said he still goes out of his way to take care of his team which I was very impressed by. That’s the kind of guy I want to surround myself and my players with. I am extremely happy to have him help out in any capacity.”
Derek will be starting with the team Tuesday September 6th, 2:00pm at practice. The Junior Bison home openening game is Saturday September 24th at 7:15pm vs the Cheyenne Stampede at Boulder Valley Ice Arena.
