Pembroke Lumber Kings have new head coach

The longtime head coach and general manager of the Pembroke Lumber Kings is moving on to the Ontario Hockey League.  Sheldon Keefe has been hired to coach the Sault Ste. Marie Greyounds.  The Greyhounds fired head coach Mike Stapleton after a 13-14-2 start. Keefe bought the Lumber Kings seven years ago and has coached the team since.  Under his control Pembroke has become one of the top tier two junior teams in Canada.  Pembroke’s new coach is longtime assistant Scott Mohns, who played for the Lumber Kings nearly twenty-five years ago.  Pembroke plays it’s next game Tuesday night in Cumberland.  Keefe will be running practice in Sault Ste. Marie tomorrow.
