Brandon, MB. – When the Brandon Wheat Kings open up Training Camp later this month, they will have a new head coach on the ice for the first time in seven years.

Wheat Kings’ general manager and owner Kelly McCrimmon has announced plans to step aside this season and hand the coaching reins over to former Kootenay Ice and Ottawa Senators’ head coach Cory Clouston.

The second winningest coach in franchise history with 330 victories, McCrimmon has led Brandon to a 294-177-35 record, since replacing Mike Kelly in March, 2004. In addition to capturing the Eastern Conference Title in 2005, McCrimmon led Brandon to three Eastern Division pennants and to within one win of the 2010 MasterCard Memorial Cup.
