The Yorkton Terriers announced this week that Andre Huberdeau will be joining the hockey club for the upcoming 2013-14-hockey season as the teams Athletic Trainer/Equipment Manager.
Andre graduated from the University of Manitoba in 2012 with a Bachelor of Kinesiology and Recreation Management with a degree in Athletic Therapy. He has also recently completed the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association certification exam.
Prior to joining the Terriers staff Andre worked with the Yellowhead Chiefs of the Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey league as their Athletic Therapist, gaining experience at the elite midget level before progressing to the SJHL this year.
Andre currently resides in St. Lazare, Manitoba and will be moving to the city of Yorkton in late August to join the Terriers for the beginning of their Fall Training Camp on August 31, 2013.
Andre replaces Tyler Paturel who served as the Teams Athletic Therapist during the Terriers 2012-13 SJHL Championship Season. Tyler recently accepted a position with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the QMJHL, continuing his climb through the hockey ranks to the CHL after doing a great job with dealing with the Terriers injuries last season.
