The Alberni Valley Bulldogs are pleased to announce the hiring of Blair Noel as our new business manager. Blair?s former position was General Manager of Princeton Wood Preservers Ltd. Blair held the General Manager position with PWP from 2001 ? 2008.
As well as being involved with the forestry industry Blair was also the President and General Manager of the Junior B hockey club, the Princeton Posse which plays in the KIJHL. Blair was responsible for all the initial setting up of the franchise including; forming a society, recruiting directors and volunteers, hiring of coaches and raising operating funds.
Blair?s background of forestry and hockey in a small community will allow for a quick transition in to Alberni. He will work with our existing office staff, Laurie Smillie and Noreen Pelk in all areas of business development.
We feel by having Blair involved in our day to day operations in Alberni it will take the Bulldog organization to a new level. This position is another piece of the puzzle to ensuring long term viability and success for the hockey club in Alberni Valley.
Andy Oakes
President
