Former Rangers Colton Robak and Chris Belhumeur will join head coach Tyler Carefoot on the Parkland Rangers’ bench this season.

After two seasons with the Rangers, Robak played junior A hockey with the Manitoba Junior Hockey League’s Steinbach Pistons and OCN Blizzard. He helped out at times last season as a trainer and enjoyed being back in the rink.

“And Tyler Carefoot approached me early this summer about potentially coaching. It wasn’t an easy decision, just because I am quite busy with work. I work at the hospital as a nurse, so it was challenging trying to decide whether I was going to do it,” he said. “After a short discussion, I was able to make it work, so I was able to go in.”

While maintaining his duties as trainer, Robak will also work with the team’s defencemen.
