Kevin Constantine, who suddenly left Firvar and the Hungarian national hockey team, signed a contract with the Canadian Junior League
Kevin Constantine, who left the position of captain of the Hungarian men’s ice hockey team and head coach of the Hydro Fehérvár AV19 team despite his existing contracts, continues his career as head coach of the Wenatchee Wild in the Western Hockey League (WHL).
According to the professional portal jegkorongblog.hu, the WHL is one of the three major Canadian junior leagues that make up the Canadian Hockey League (CHL). And Constantine will be the first coach in the history of the new club, as ownership of the Winnipeg Ice was bought a month ago and the team moved from the Canadian city to Wenatchee, Washington, which has a population of 35,000.
