he Okanagan Rockets are accepting applications for their Head Coaching position after Mack O’Rourke accepted a position with a company outside the hockey industry. O’Rourke guided the Rockets through their most successful campaign to date as the Rockets won the BCMML title and a Pacific Regional crown before winning a bronze medal at the Telus Cup.
While disappointed in losing O’Rourke, the Rockets general manager David Michaud was thrilled for his former coach. “It wasn’t a call I was hoping to get” said Micahud.
“Mack and I had every intention of continuing together to keep our success rolling, however when Mack was presented with this opportunity, it was a bit of a no-brainer for a young man who is getting his professional life going. We wish Mack nothing but success and there is no doubt he will do a great job in his new position.”
