Chynoweth leaving Speedy Creek?

Looks like Jon Keen's blog is the place to be today....first he broke the Zach Habscheid trade this morning and now he has an even bigger scoop:

Dean Chynoweth is apparently resigning as coach & GM of the Broncos. Press conference tomorrow in Swift Current.

This comes out of left field a bit, but Chynoweth is entering the option year of his contract in Swift Current. I'm just speculating now, but if the team has declined to discuss an extension with him, Chynoweth may have chosen to resign now rather than go into the season as a "lame duck" coach/GM. Just thinkin' here.

UPDATE: TSN is reporting that Chynoweth is leaving the Broncos to join the NHL's New York Islanders as an assistant coach.

Another classy move by a community owned team.

How does Chynoweth - a guy who has a losing record as a Head Coach in the WHL get a coaching job in the NHL. What a joke. He never did anything of any substance in the WHL and he gets tapped on the shoulder. Eventually the incompetence will rise to the top.
