The Port Moody Panthers are under new management.
Peter Zerbinos will take over for Dennis Obcena as general manager, the first change after the league approved a new ownership team for the club.
“We are excited about the challenge that lies ahead with the Panthers,” Zerbinos said in a press release. “We plan to reach out to all eligible returning players to gauge where they’re at. We also feel there’s a passionate group of fans, businesses and community partners in Port Moody, and we have very ambitious ideas and visions for the Panthers.”
Zerbinos has a long history in the Pacific Junior Hockey League. He was the director of hockey operations for the Delta Ice Hawks for six seasons and general manager of the club for two seasons. During that time, he helped the club make the playoffs every year and was part of the team that won the PJHL championship in 2012 and advanced to the finals in 2010.
The Port Moody Panthers, who just wrapped up their 11th season in the league, missed the playoffs this season with a 16-27-0-1 record.
