The Surrey Eagles are thrilled to announce the appointment of Scott Gomez as the new head coach for the upcoming season. Gomez, a former NHL star and two-time Stanley Cup champion, served as the Eagles’ assistant coach last year, contributing significantly to the team’s triumph in winning the Fred Page Cup. Known for his remarkable playing career with the New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, and Montreal Canadiens, Gomez was awarded the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s Rookie of the Year in 2000 and accumulated over 700 points during his career. His transition from player to coach has been eagerly anticipated, and his appointment marks a significant milestone for the Eagles.
With Scott Gomez at the helm, the Surrey Eagles are poised for another exciting and promising season. His recent playing experience, combined with his previous coaching role and last season’s championship success, is expected to foster strong player development and team cohesion. Gomez’s ability to connect with players and his high-level expertise are anticipated to translate into on-ice success. The team and its fans are optimistic that his leadership will elevate the Eagles’ performance and reinforce their reputation within the BCHL.
