Mark Lamb hired Chiefs bench boss Ryan Smith 10 years ago for first WHL coaching gig in Swift Current
Ryan Smith and Mark Lamb have a deep connection as opposing WHL head coaches in the Prince George Cougars-Spokane Chiefs series.
“We’ve continued our friendship and I’ve talked to him over the years about coaching and situations and we always have good conversations. He’s honest and a good hockey man and we’ve had a lot of laughs together. I look forward to talking to Mark after the series is over.” “He’s a real good guy and I was happy for him to get a head coaching job because that’s what he’s been working for. We won’t be best friends , that’s for sure.”
“His teams are always good, always play hard and it’ll be a great to go up against him. It’s as good as it gets on their bench, with Mark and Jim , and they’re going to have their team ready. They’ve slowly built this team through drafts, a few smart trades and free agency and that’s how you have to do.
