“Our organization is thrilled to provide Ethan with this promotion to Assistant General Manager,” Cooper said in a statement.
“In a short period of time with our hockey club, Ethan has demonstrated an outstanding work ethic and professionalism, combined with a vast knowledge for how the Ontario Hockey League operates both on and off the ice. His scouting background, player recruitment and video coaching experience make him a very valuable asset to our team. We look forward to having Ethan take on a large role and we know he’ll excel in this new opportunity.”
According to the Frontenacs, O’Rourke will maintain his duties as video coach, but “taking on a larger role within the Hockey Operations department.”
“I’d like to thank the Kingston Frontenacs, the Springer Family and Kory Cooper for entrusting me with this promotion,” O’Rourke stated.
