Red Lake, ON – The Red Lake Miners announced today that Head Coach Lee Stone will be leaving the organization to accept a position with the Coquitlam Express of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL).

The community as a whole is amazing, and I’m fortunate to say I met and developed several lifelong friendships in Red Lake.”
Jason Vinet, President of the Miners, expressed his gratitude for Stone’s contributions. “The Red Lake Miners organization would like to thank GM/HC Lee Stone for his contributions to the program over the past two seasons.
