MUSTANGS NAME NEW PRESIDENT

Press Release

Effective today, the Melfort Mustangs Junior Hockey Association announces that Sean Isberg has been elected president of the association by the Board of Directors.

The board would like to acknowledge the contribution of Barry Jung to the association. Barry has dedicated 14 years of volunteering to the association, and announced earlier his intention to step down at the end of this season. Barry will remain a member of the board of directors till the annual meeting in June, 2011.

The decision to name a new president was made as the association is at a critical time of change. Moving forward into the new season, the board will be hiring a new coach and replacing staff positions which were vacated. As a result the board felt it a prudent move to have the new president in place to provide leadership and guidance through this period of transition.

“I am honoured to accept the position of President for the Association, and look forward to working with the board in building the franchise for the coming season’, stated Sean Isberg. “Our focus as a board now will be on the hiring decisions and closing the books on the past season. I encourage all members of the association to come to our annual meeting later in June for which we should be announcing a date shortly”, added Sean Isberg.
