HEAD COACH
JEFF RICCIARDI – Also no stranger to the local hockey circles, Ricciardi steps up to take over the Kings’ U-16 program after coaching the bantams this season.
After helping Thunder Bay win a bronze medal at the 1988 Air Canada Cup at the Fort William Gardens, he went on to be a four-year stalwart career on defence in the Ontario Hockey League with the Ottawa 67s.
From there Ricciardi went on to play parts of 14 seasons professionally, in both North America, and Europe.
He was also a member of the Thunder Bay Bombers Allan Cup-winning team back in 2005 and went on to be named the Top Defenceman at the 2006 Pannon Cup in Budapest, Hungary where Thunder Bay represented Canada in a four-nation international event against Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary.
