Mike Carlsen, last year's Head Coach, stepped down to accept a job as the Head Coach of  the Swiss International School and Educational Center (SISEC). They have midget aged Players/Students from Switzerland, Lativa, USA, Japan and Italy.  Similiar to the Edge school where Mike had worked for the past 5 years. He spent 4 Years with the Thunder,  3 as Assistant Coach and last year has Head Coach. We hated to see him go as he a real pro as a coach and we wished him well in his future coaching and hockey life.   However, we must quickly move on.
