Klippers bring in Ferster as interim Co-Coach

By Garrett Turner, 09/23/19

The Iron Horse Kindersley Klippers welcome Rylan Ferster to our coaching staff. Rylan will be joining the team as Co-Coach with Larry Wintoneak until our Head Coach Garry Childerhose is able to make a return. Rylan will be a great asset to the team as he is very familiar with the Klippers staff. 

“I’m a Sask. guy. I played in the league. Larry is one of my best friends and I grew up in Prince Albert with Stephen Corfmat (Klippers Head Scout). Larry and I spent two years working with Hockey Canada at the WJAC, and we share many of the same philosophies. So when he asked me to help out it was a no brainer. I’m excited to be part of the SJHL and the Klippers family.” - Rylan Ferster

Rylan played 3 seasons with the Nipawin Hawks before joining the Vernon Lakers of the BCJHL where he won the Centennial Cup in 1990. Following his junior career he attended SAIT in Calgary where he played 3 seasons. Ferster then  went on to play pro overseas. 

For the past 20 seasons he has been a Coach/GM in the BCHL.  And has had a tremendous amount of success. As a coach he has won 3  Division Championships, an RBC championship, and 2 silver medals with Team Canada West.

He is currently working as a family advisor with Hockey Pathways.

His most recent coaching position was a 7 year term as the Head Coach/GM of the West Kelowna Warriors. We are very excited to have Rylan on our team and appreciate him coming in on short notice. Welcome to the Klippers Rylan!
