With 278 appearances for three NHL teams a Vermilion native is coming to the Lloydminster Bobcats in the new year.

Jeff Woywitka will join the coaching staff of the Lloydminster Bobcats as the Associate and Skills Coach following the Christmas break. He will work closely with head coach and GM Nigel Dube on team development.

“We are very excited to welcome Jeff’s wealth of playing and coaching experience and knowledge to our staff following the break,” says Dube.

Woywitka played for the St Louis Blues, Dallas Stars and New York Rangers in a pro-career spanning 2003 to 2015. Overall, he has some 600 pro games to his credit.

For the last five seasons he has been coaching with the Sherwood Park Crusaders.

The Bobcats will resume action with two games against the Bonnyville Pontiacs. Dec. 29 they’re at home and Dec. 30 they visit the Pontiacs barn.

Gerry has lived in Lloydminster since winter 2010. That detail is important as coming from the Caribbean he did not see green grass until May. Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
