February 7, 2004 – It is with regret that we must see Jussi Piirainen return to Finland at the end of this season where he will finish his thesis work for his Masters Coaching Degree. He has given so much to his athletes and to other coaches that he will be missed, none-the-less his kind manner and sound advice will not be forgotten.
At this time NTDC-Thunder Bay is seeking a qualified and energetic replacement to continue our high standard of coaching at this centre. If you feel you are qualified and up to the challenge we are interested in hearing from you as soon as possible.
Refer to the application details given in the Job Notice. http://canada.x-c.com/main.asp?cmd=fil&ID=260&lan=0
It is hoped that the new coach can be working with the team while Jussi is still here in Canada during the month of April and possibly even late March.
