The Yellowhead Region Minor Hockey Association announced recently that Chad Facey will be returning as head coach of the Chiefs AAA midget hockey team next season.

The Hamiota product has spent two seasons as the bench boss of Yellowhead thus far, taking over for Garth Mitchell, who left the team in 2012.

This past season, Facey guided the Chiefs to a 19-21-0-4 record, helping the club clinch the eighth and final playoff spot in the standings. The Chiefs were swept by the Brandon AAA Wheat Kings in a first round best-of-five series.

Facey has an overall record of 48-33-7 since taking over as head coach.

Meanwhile, the YRMHA welcomed back Derek Tibbatts for his second season as head coach of the AAA midget female team; Craig Geekie will be returning for his third year as bench boss of the AAA boys bantam team; while Trixie Lindenbach will serve as head coach of the AAA bantam female team after being an assistant with the team last season.
