“I have known Cam for years,” says Vipers General Manager, Kevin McIntosh.  “He brings a solid work ethic to our team.  We are very proud to have Cam as part of our Vipers family.”

Cam has distinguished himself as a coach of several minor teams in the area, including Windsor AAA, Essex Bantam and the Alliance U17 development camp.

Eric has been a top performer on the ice over the last four years and was selected to participate in both the 2011 and 2012 Jr. B Western Conference All Star Game. 

“Eric will wear the C with class and pride,” says Vipers General Manager, Kevin McIntosh. “He is going to be a fine leader of our team, he has had two great team captains to learn from (D.J.

LaSalle Vipers’ Name New Coach for 2012-13 Season

The LaSalle Vipers will have a new face behind the bench, calling the plays next season. 

Former NHL draft pick, Ryan Donally, has been brought on board as the team’s new head coach.

“We’re very excited about Ryan joining the Vipers’ family,” says Vipers General Manager, Kevin McIntosh. 

“Ryan’s got an incredible amount of experience.  He’s a great communicator.  He’ll also be a great role model for the team and for fans as he’s earning his degree in Business Administration at the University of Windsor and is very involved with the community.  He’s a great addition to the team.”

A native of Tecumseh, Ontario, Donally has a long and impressive hockey resume.  He grew up playing minor hockey with the Sun County Panthers before moving on to become the captain of the Windsor Spitfires.

Over his five years of major junior hockey, Donally played for the Windsor Spitfires, Kitchener Rangers and Sudbury Wolves.

In 2003, he was drafted 97th overall in the NHL Entry Draft by the Calgary Flames and went on to spend four years as part of the Calgary Flames and Anaheim Ducks organizations.
