Well, I figured today was a safe day to go for a hike before dealing with tonight’s AquaSox game. Turns out I was wrong as news basically broke right after I headed out the door. So here’s the news several hours late. The Tips have promoted Bil La Forge to head scout.
La Forge spent the past three seasons as one of Everett’s Alberta scouts. He essentially takes the place of departed director of player development Scott Scoville, who stepped down to accept a scouting job with the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets.
Everett general manager Doug Soetaert had hinted at the possibility of filling this position internally, so the elevation of La Forge is not a surprise. La Forge now becomes Everett’s key man for the bantam draft.
