Former Belleville Bulls coach and GM George Burnett is moving with the team, and has been named the head coach and general manager of the new Hamilton Bulldogs.
Bulldogs owner Michael Andlauer made the announcement Friday, and said he's excited because Burnett is one of the most experienced and respected coaches in the league.
"As head coach and general manager of the Belleville Bulls for the past 11 seasons, he has a track record of developing great young talent and winning teams," Andlauer said. "His familiarity with the existing roster and organizational depth will be integral to the success of the Hamilton Bulldogs going forward."
Burnett, 53, began coaching back in the 1989-90 season as an assistant with the OHL's Oshawa Generals. In 26 seasons, he's also worked with the Edmonton Oilers, the (formerly mighty) Anaheim Ducks, the Guelph Storm and then the Bulls for over a decade.
He's also coached internationally with Canadian junior teams.
"I'm excited for the opportunity that lies ahead in this new chapter of junior hockey in Hamilton and continuing to develop a strong working relationship with Mr. Andlauer," Burnett said. "We look to build upon the existing foundation in place and expect to have a young, exciting team on the ice for the upcoming season."
The formerly AHL Hamilton Bulldogs sold their AHL franchise to the Montreal Canadiens and bought the OHL's Belleville Bulls last month. The Canadien's AHL franchise will be moved to St. John's, Newfoundland for the next two seasons.
