Joining Chad on the bench will be two newcomers and one familiar face: Adam Bignell will join the coaching staff as an assistant coach.

He also spent one season as an assistant coach with the Listowel Cyclones. Jarod Logan is returning to the Ironmen after a 1 year absence. JLo will bring knowledge, leadership and a familiar voice to the bench. Caleb Logan has agreed to join the team to work with the forwards, as well as assisting as a video coach. Caleb’s attention to detail and knowledge of the game will be valuable assets to the team.
