LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge Hurricanes Hockey Club announced Thursday that Brent Kisio has been named the 14th Head Coach in franchise history.
Kisio, 32, has spent the past eight season from 2007 until 2015 as an assistant coach of the Calgary Hitmen where he won the Western Hockey League Championship in 2010. During his tenure with the Hitmen, Kisio appeared in two WHL Finals and five Eastern Conference Finals while only missing the playoffs once.
The Calgary, Alberta, native says he’s thrilled about the opportunity, “


“I shortlisted three or four guys and went through the process. We had some real quality people, I just felt Brent really fit here better than any. I like his hockey pedigree, born and raised in the hockey world and being involved in the hockey business.” – pete
“He’s worked with a strong winning organization for the last eight years with the Calgary Hitmen with three good quality head coaches; Dave Lowry, Mike Williamson and Mark French most recently. He’s had some really good training and he’s been a part of the development of the Hitmen over the eight years he’s been there, which was very important to me.” – pete
“I like that he’s a young and up and coming coach, I think we are in the business of developing coaches. He’s going to bring in some new coaching ideas and new thoughts. I also like his philosophy on coaching and how he’d like his team to play with pressure and making it hard for teams to come in here and play against the Lethbridge Hurricanes.” – pete
