After much waiting, the New Jersey Devils named a new coach to help their system. No, I’m not talking about John Hynes assistant coaches, we’re discussing Alex Loh getting promoted to head coach of the Adirondack Thunder.
Loh was an assistant with the Thunder last season, and will be the team’s third head coach in team history. The team’s former head coach Brad Tapper left to take over head coaching duties with Grand Rapids of the AHL.
Hiring from within seems like the smart move for the Thunder. The team was very good last season, and made a run to the Eastern Conference Finals.
