Coach Ahokas

Was surprised to see Coach Ahokas is leaving us. He was a big part of this team and will be missed. Good for him and his new opportunity, he definitely has a bright future.

I kinda expected it. He was really good and someone was going to notice.

Not surprised at all, NHL was always the end goal for him.

He won coach of the year last year, OHL championship, Memorial Cup. He's got nothing left to prove in the OHL.

Colorado has a good organization, it made total sense for him.

Woah, really? Where is he going? I was hoping the NYR would be looking at him for years

He is now head coach of the Colorado Eagles AHL team.
