Vancouver Whalers Co-GM Announcement
So. It's been an interesting week for me, getting used to the new digs. But of course, what's a good GM without a rock of a Co-GM behind them? With that in mind, I'm happy to bring aboard a guy that knows this team as well as anyone else I know. He's been with us for a good long while now, and I think this will be a solid partnership.
Welcome aboard, @
Glyc
I'm looking forward to working with you.
------------------------------
That in mind, there was another applicant who made this decision extra tough. Their application was well put together and their love for the team has been unwavering since the start. With that in mind, we're bringing this second individual along as an Advisor to the team, a position with great history in the Whalers management bloodline.
Welcome aboard, @
jcfbey01
I'm hoping that the time you spend assisting the Whalers management team will help you secure a management role yourself in the near future.
-------------------------------
Congrats to both of you. Let's get out there and tear the place up.
