Texas Brahmas' new assistant coach?

Goaltender Ron Vogel rumored to be the new #2 man

Since breaking the news of Forbes MacPherson's departure from the Brahmas organization, I've heard Ron Vogel's name has come up again and again as the new assistant coach of the Texas Brahmas. Though no announcement has been made by the team, reliable sources say Vogel is the new # 2 man.

Vogel, 29, has spent nine years playing professional hockey in various leagues including the NAHL, ECHL, CHL, UHL, EIHL and IHL. He played last season with the IHL's Port Huron Icehawks and Kalamazoo Wings.

A native of London, Ontario, Vogel and his family moved to Texas this spring. He assisted Brahmas Head Coach Dan Wildfong at Wildfong's annual hockey camp in July. He has been a regular at the NYTEX Sports Centre throughout the Summer.

It will be interesting to see if this is the direction the Brahmas are taking. Again, this is only a rumour at this point.
