Guy Blanchard will remain behind the bench of the North Bay Midget AAA Trappers next season.

He took over as coach of the team last fall and guided them to a bronze medal at the Central Regional Championship this past month in Sudbury.

The Trappers finished first in the standings and made it to the Great North Midget League Finals, losing 3 games to 2, to the Sudbury Nickel Capital Wolves.

“I decided to come back one more year because when we started this program with the midgets this past year, it was fairly successful,” said Blanchard.

“I wanted to give it a two year shot and this is basically the second year of my commitment and hopefully finish off the program we put forward and I think it’s a benefit for all the players here in North Bay,” he added.

Spring tryouts for the Trappers midget team, which will be for 2000, 2001, 2002 birth year players, will take place later this month.
