| Bobby Vermette - General Manager / Alternate League Governor Bobby played five years Junior A hockey in B.C. and Ontario followed by one year as a professional in the East Coast Hockey League. Bobby was an assistant coach for the Junior A Burnaby/Coquitlam Express for three years and two years ago became general manager and head coach of the Ridge Meadows Flames. Last year he stepped down from his coaching responsibilities to focus on his duties as general manager.
