Tommies taking care of "Bizz"ness

Eric Bissonnette

St. Thomas has landed one of their best recruits in sometime and he won't see the ice during games. Eric Bissonnette was announced as the men's new full time Assistant Coach on Thursday night. This is fabulous news for STU as we all know that this guy has, does, and will  bleed GREEN and GOLD.

Eric needs little introduction to STU fans but to those not familiar with him he patrolled the Tommies blue line for five years back in the mid ninety's, has 2 degrees from St. Thomas, fluently bilingual, successful business owner, motivator, and well know in hockey circles throughout the region.

Looking at our new coach Troy Ryan, with the addition of Bissonnette, people will see a strong force to advance the program.  Things are not going to happen overnight, there is much work that needs to be done, but a strong foundation has been laid and this excitement around the program will help build a solid new future.

Congratulations Eric, Troy, and Tommies hockey.
