Prince Albert SK - The Prince Albert Raiders are proud to announce that Dave Manson will re-join the team as an Assistant Coach, completing the restructuring during which Bruno Campese became solely the General Manager and Steve Young was named the Head Coach. Craig Bedard will remain in his role an Assistant Coach.

Born and raised in Prince Albert, Dave Manson developed through the Prince Albert Minor Hockey Association's East End Community Club and graduated to play for the Raiders from 1983-86. Manson played 212 games as a Raider with 24 goals, 71 assists and 657 minutes in penalties. Manson was part of the 1985 Memorial Cup Championship team that beat the host Shawinigan Cataracts 6-1 in the final.

Manson was a first round draft pick of the Chicago Blackhawks, 11th overall in the 1985 entry draft and went on to a 16 year, 1103 game National Hockey League career, totalling 390 points and 2792 penalty minutes.

Manson was an Assistant Coach with the Raiders from 2002-09 before joining the Prince Albert Mintos of the Saskatchewan Major Midget League in the same capacity. Manson was inducted onto the Raiders Wall of Honour in the Players category on December 1, 2007.

"We are pleased to add Dave who brings experience as both a player and a coach. We believe he will compliment Steve and Craig very well," said Raiders General Manager, Bruno Campese.

Manson will be behind the bench for the Raiders tomorrow night, but will be unavailable for the next two weeks due to prior commitments.
