Article content
Brantford Bulldogs head coach Jay McKee and his staff aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
The Bulldogs announced on Tuesday that McKee and assistant coaches Andreas Karlsson and Andrew Campbell have agreed to three-year extensions with Brantford.
“I am thrilled to announce the extension of our great coaching staff,” Bulldogs general manager Matt Turek said in a release.
“Our staff has shown the ability to connect with veteran players and develop our prospects leading to the success our organization has had. Jay, Andreas and Andrew all possess the character and work ethic we value so highly with the Bulldogs and we look forward to seeing them continue to instill those values in the young men learning from them.”
McKee is the fifth coach in franchise history, having joined the team in 2021. He has an 87-47-9-2 regular-season record and helped lead the team to the OHL championship in 2022.
Karlsson came to the Bulldogs with McKee in 2021 after both coached with the Kitchener Rangers.
Campbell joined the team for the 2019-20 season as video coach before he was promoted mid-season to assistant coach.
The Bulldogs will host the Guelph Storm on Wednesday at the civic centre at 7:30 p.m.
