BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - The Binghamton Senators, in conjunction with the Ottawa Senators, announced today that Mike Busniuk will return in his role as assistant coach for the 2007-08 season and will work alongside new head coach Cory Clouston.
Busniuk is set to begin his fifth season in the Senators' organization. Prior to joining the B-Sens, Busniuk led Muskegon (United Hockey League) as the Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations during the 2002-2003 season. He led the Fury to a 38-29-9 record (3rd place - Western Conference) in his first season as head coach in the minor-pro ranks.
Busniuk was the Montreal Canadiens' 10th pick (67th overall) in the 1971 NHL Entry Draft. The Thunder Bay, Ontario, native appeared in 143 NHL games, all with Philadelphia after being signed as a free agent by the Flyers in October of 1977. His American Hockey League career spanned 397 games with the Nova Scotia Voyageurs and the Maine Mariners in which he registered 160 career points and was part of five Calder Cup championship clubs.
Busniuk's pro coaching career began in the Southern Tier as an assistant coach with the Binghamton Rangers (AHL). When the franchise moved to Hartford, CT, in 1997, Busniuk remained as the assistant for another five seasons with the New York Ranger-affiliated Wolf Pack.
