The Fort McMurray Oil Barons have brought back a 25 year veteran of the AJHL to coach them again.

Gord Thibodeau, who coached the Oil Barons from 2003 to 2014, and guided them to their lone RBC Cup back in 2006, is back with the club again.

Thibodeau, spent his years with eight different AJHL teams, all in the North Division, most recently with the Whitecourt Wolverines, up until last February before stepping away.

He'll be back behind the bench Friday, January 17, when the Okotoks Oilers head to Fort Mac.
