The Kitchener Rangers have announced a staffing shake up in their hockey operations department with some familiar names taking on new roles. Brad Flynn is moving up from Assistant Coach to Associate Coach after a vacancy was left by Jeff Kyrzakos, who was recently named the team’s new Head Coach. He first joined the Rangers in 2017 as Director of Analytics and served as Assistant General Manager the past five seasons. In addition to Kyrzakos heading the coaching staff, the Rangers also recently announced Nick Spaling as Assistant Coach and Jake Paterson as Goalie and Video Coach. The Kitchener Rangers are gearing up for the 2026-27 season following their OHL Championship and Memorial Cup victories last season.
