NAHL Austin Bruins

Chris Tok Will Not Return to Coach the Bruins

May 22, 2015 - North American Hockey League (NAHL)
Austin Bruins News Release


No one doubts coach Tok's ability to have success on the ice. In fact we believe that Chris is one of the best coaches in the NAHL. Unfortunately being head coach/ general manager involves far more than coaching.  The position requires the exercise of solid managerial decisions behind the scenes, and it requires those managerial decisions be focused primarily on the long-term interests of the team.  Over the years as coach of the Austin Bruins, Chris Tok made a number of managerial decisions which were not consistent with the team's interests nor consistent with team policy.  Those decisions have created tension and conflict between Chris Tok and management which has proven difficult to resolve.  In light of those managerial issues and the conflict they have produced, the team has decided to seek a new head coach.  The team is confident that it will identify a coach with a similar level of quality on the ice who also has solid history of performance in making managerial decisions and a willingness to work closely with management for the common achievement of shared goals.  After all, the Austin Bruins are committed to continuing the legacy of producing championship caliber teams, combined with outstanding community involvement supported by a fiscally healthy and supportive team organization necessary to give our fans the exciting hockey experience they deserve for many years to come.
