LETHBRIDGE, AB - The Lethbridge Hurricanes Hockey Club is pleased to announce Bill Reddick as the Chair of the 2020 Memorial Cup Bid Committee while Hurricanes General Manager of Business Operations Terry Huisman will serve as Co-Chair.
Reddick is a University of Lethbridge graduate. He has spent the last 19 years as a Chartered Accountant and is currently a partner with Mercer Wilde Group Charted Accountants in Lethbridge. He has been involved in hockey in a number of capacities, including the Lethbridge Minor Hockey Association as a coach.
"I was pretty humbled and very privileged to be approached to Chair the Memorial Cup Bid Committee and I'm very excited," said Reddick.
