Steel Scout Heads to the WHL’s
Silvertips
Bensenville, IL (June 29th, 2007)
-- The Chicago Steel have announced that
Regional Scout Mark LeRose has accepted the Assistant
Coach position with the Everett Silvertips in the
Western Hockey League (WHL) which competes in the CHL.
LeRose, from Aspen, Colorado, assisted the Steel with
helping scout players within the Rocky Mountain District
and the Upper Midwest High School Elite League which
features the top players in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and
North Dakota. LeRose had previously played at Canisius
College in Buffalo, NY and worked as an Assistant Coach
with the University of Wisconsin. He had also previously
worked with Steel GM Jason Koehler when both were with
the Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL) and the Sioux Falls
Stampede (USHL).
LeRose becomes the second Steel scout in the last few
months to accept a new job in the coaching ranks and
follows Eric Ballard, formerly of the Rocky Mountain
Wranglers AAA program in Colorado – who has become the
Assistant Coach of the Springfield Jr. Blues in the
North American Hockey League (NAHL).
"We are very excited and proud for both Mark and Eric
and their new positions," said Steel General Manager
Jason Koehler. "Both men were extremely helpful in
helping cover multiple areas of the country and players
for our new Steel program and we wish both success in
their new endeavors. They will each do very well and we
look forward to continuing our positive relationships
with both individuals and their new organizations.”
