Regina SK ---- This morning the Regina Pats Hockey Club announced that Mike Blaisdell has resigned from his position as Assistant Coach to pursue other hockey & business opportunities.
"We thanks Mike for his efforts over the past year and for the passion he brought to the rink everyday. His zest for the game and his pride in being a member of the Pats will be missed. We wish him and his family all the best in his future endeavours," commented Pats' GM Brent Parker
