I wonder if this points to Larsen being gone for a longer period of time. I hope the best for him.

I was wondering if Gelinas might pop up behind the bench in the interim, but I thought it might be with the Flames rather than the Wranglers.

Cull seems like a good coach though.

Cull has been doing a great job with the Wranglers.

Just hoping everything ends up positive for Larsen.

Slightly off topic, but what happened with Gelinas? He was with the big club as an assistant and then disappeared it seemed. A bit odd that he’s joining the wranglers as opposed to the big club.

Probably just doing the Flames a temporary favour.

From his wiki.

“He is involved with the Calgary Flames Alumni Association's charitable events.[51] Gélinas is also involved with Calgary's business industry, holding an interest in Calgary-based Whitecap Resources.[52]”

Gelinas has been in a player development role with the Flames.

I wouldn't mind seeing Cull get a shot as head coach, he has done a fantastic job with the Wranglers.

Cull has that old school NHL coach look, eh?

It's bound to happen eventually.

What an awkward transition and delivery by Pascall. "You may or may not know Brad Larsen, one of the assistant coaches, he's left the team (he's literally one of their coaches Brad), he's dealing with a family matter. He's left the team the last few weeks and probably gone the unforeseeable future, so we wish him all the best, so.....ANYWAYS the fun part! We've got a call up hahahahaha!!!".
