SALMON ARM B.C.: The Salmon Arm Silverbacks are thrilled to announce that former Silverbacks netminder Angus 'Beef' Redmond will be joining the team as the new goalie coach.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound goalie appeared in 132 career games with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks from 2012-2016, posting a 59-61-7 record, 2.94 GAA, .906 SV% and eight shutouts.
Redmond, led Michigan Tech to a Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) championship and earned WCHA All-Rookie Team honors after posting a 22-10-5 record, 1.85 goals-against average (GAA), .917 save percentage (SV%) and four shutouts in 38 games. The Langley, B.C. native ranked third in the nation in GAA and tied for ninth in wins, which set a Michigan Tech record for wins by a freshman goaltender.
“I am very excited to have Angus back with our organization, said Silverbacks GM Brooks Christens. "Angus was a great team mate and leader in his time with the Silverbacks and believe he will help our entire team with his knowledge and passion for the game. Being fresh out of his playing days I believe will help our goalies in preparing them for the season and what it takes to play at the NCAA & pro levels."
Redmond also signed a three year entry level contract with the Anaheim Ducks and spent the past five season playing in the ECHL and AHL. He says he's excited to be coming back to Salmon Arm.
“Now that my playing career is over, I am very grateful for the opportunity to stay involved in the game and be back with the Silverbacks organization. Salmon Arm has always felt like a second home to me since I played my four years of junior hockey there, so I’m very excited to move back and get the season started!”
Please join us in welcoming Angus back to Salmon Arm.
