Dugas looks forward to the challenge at the AA level,
“I’m very excited about the opportunity to work with next year’s U-15 AA team,” said Dugas in a release.
With seven years coaching experience under NBDGHA, and over 10 years of coaching locally, Jeff Roynon is building on his recent two years with the U-15 AA Ice Boltz.
Roynon is excited about his move to the U-18 AA Ice Boltz and continuing to work with players at the highest level.

As they hope to return to a regular hockey program next season, both coaches plan on development and preparation for competition in the Lower Lakes Female Hockey League.
The U-15 and U-18 AA Ice Boltz teams have a storied history of success in the province, including a U-18 AA provincial championship back in 2013.
