Cote joins RDC Kings Hockey coaching staff
A familiar face in central Alberta hockey circles is headed back to the area.
After just one season with the Prince Albert Raiders as an assistant coach, Brandin Cote has accepted a similar position with the Red Deer College Kings.
The native of Swift Current joined the Raiders prior to the 2016-17 season and ultimately had to make a tough family decision – his wife and two young boys staying in Red Deer.
“It was one of those things I knew going in that I was just signing a one-year deal to go there and obviously we didn’t have a lot of success — that had nothing to do with it — it was my decision,” he said. “I wanted and they wanted to make it work to go back [to Prince Albert], but we [the family] did the whole long distance thing. That was tough and was part of it.”
