BCJALL AWARDS: Coquitlam staff named Coaches of the Year

DOUG HAZELWOOD MEMORIAL TROPHY

TOP COACHING STAFF

This coach must have the ability to instill good sportsmanship and have the ability to bring out talent and fair play.

PAT COYLE, KYLE SORENSON, JASON BISHOP - COQUITLAM ADANACS

Pat Coyle has been at the helm for the majority of the Coquitlam Adanacs latest reign over the BCJALL and was finally rewarded last season with a Minto Cup championship.

It may be hard to top last year, but this coaching staff was going to try. Despite going undefeated during the 2016 regular season, they weren't BCJALL champions and got into the Minto Cup through the proverbial back door. They want to erase all doubts of their abilities this season, and get a chance to do that starting on Friday night against the New Westminster Salmonbellies. 

They have built more than a team, they have built a program that has players representing all corners of North America on it. They have become one of the destinations in Canadian Junior lacrosse, and that alone deserves recognition. These three have also developed a distinct style of play that is the envy of many teams in the league. You know the A's will be ready to go to war in any situation, and they have this staff to thank for much of it.
