Despite having a very successful season last year, Head Coach and General Manager Stan Butler unexpectedly retired due to working a very stressful job. "Being a GM and head coach of hockey team is very stressful. All the important decisions you need to make: lines, trades ;ect. it all eventually was to much for me. Good luck to the new GM."
The Brampton Battalion have now announced that they have hired former Toronto Maple Leafs scout Ryan Williams to take control of the team. "It is great for me to be accepted this position on the team. I think I should do well since I know most of the players since when I was with the Leafs, my sector was to scout the OHL. In fact I was one of the people that convinced J.F.J (John Ferguson Jr.) to draft Brampton Battalion defensemen Phil Oreskovic."
He will be joining a good core of veterans such as Phil Oreskovic, defensemen and Anaheim Duck prospects John De Grey and Rick King. The team also has prospects such as 16 year old Cody Hodgson and 16 year old Mike Lomas.
The team has never reached the finals, but has made the playoffs six times in their eight year history. His first task should be getting a head coach, since the departure of Stan Butler.
