Former Vernon Vipers head coach-gm Troy Mick & former Vernon Lakers forward Rylan Ferster's name's have come up in rumors on some of the head coaching jobs that have recently come up in the WHL.

THE COACHING GAME: While we are going to hear a lot of names over the next while — Steve Hamilton, Perry Pearn, Eric Thurston et al — there are a few that may fly under the radar for a bit. . . . Someone may want to take another look at Troy Mick, for example. Mick last coached in the WHL with the Kamloops Blazers, but cut it short for health reasons. He is hale and hearty these days and led the Revelstoke Grizzlies to the Western Canadian junior B title. . . . There is noise the Rylan Ferster, the GM and head coach of the BCHL’s Salmon Arm Silverbacks, may be a candidate for a position or two. . . . And someone has whispered to me that Terry Ballard, out as head coach of the Edmonton-based NAIT Ooks after something like 12 seasons, may be worth a look. . . . Kris Knoblauch, the assistant coach with the Kootenay Ice, was one of the applicants for the Edmonton Oil Kings’ head-coaching spot and may get an interview. He almost certainly will be interviewed by Ice GM Jeff Chynoweth, who is looking to replace Mark Holick, now the head coach of the AHL’s Syracuse Crunch. With the high level of coaching in the WHL these days, though, Knoblauch and other young assistants may be a season or two away from getting to the top of the ladder. However, it won’t hurt the portfolio to go through an interview process or two.
