Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs went through a recent ownership change. Now they have a new head coach to boot.
Neil Dinsdale takes over Coquitlam's bench boss duties from Curt Malawsky, who stepped down after guiding the Jr. A's to their second straight Minto Cup national tournament last year and their first ever Canadian crown as hosts in 2010, the club announced Thursday.
"Neil was someone who fit the mold of a perfect candidate for this position, having been a former Junior Adanac and having deep roots in the local lacrosse community," the club wrote in a press release, with Tosh Nishimura having already taken over as the Jr. A's new general manager, replacing previous co-owner Ken Wood. "Having played his minor lacrosse in Coquitlam, Neil appreciates the links his junior team needs to have with minor lacrosse to help grow the game locally to continue to produce top players ready for NCAA college or senior lacrosse."
Also, the club announced former Sr. 'A' Adanac Steve McKinlay will take over as head coach of the Intermediate 'A' squad.
