There may soon be a new face behind the bench alongside Neepawa Natives head coach Dustin Howden. The MJHL club has released a call for resumes for the position of assistant coach for the 2017-2018 season. Ryan Menei served in that role last year, but needs to step away due to family related commitments. 

Speaking to the Neepawa Banner on Tuesday, June 20 about the situation, Menei said this decision was a difficult one for him.  

“It was a very tough decision, but there are some other requirements that had to take precedent. The Neepawa Natives really are a first class organization. It’s been great working with Dustin and Myles [Cathcart] and everyone else connected to the team,” noted Menei. “[Neepawa] should be very proud of these young men, who make up that roster. Seeing them develop throughout the year, as both players and people was special. This team has a bright future ahead of it.”

As a result of this decision, the Neepawa Natives are currently searching for an assistant coach for the upcoming season.
