HockeyNut30 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 When I was at the Arizona game a few days ago I saw Fred Brathwaite standing on the bench during warmup. I know he's trying to become a goalie coach in the NHL and is working with Hockey Canada to achieve that. Just wondering if anyone had any info on his current (if any) role with the Canucks or if he was just hanging out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled my question before posting and found that exact article which is why I'm asking here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Brathwaite does not have a role with the Canucks. He works for Hockey Canada as a goalie consultant which operates out of the offices at Rogers Arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NucksPatsFan Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I remember there used to be a rumour that Brathwaite was Fin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCammer Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Rod Brathwaite works with the Canucks as Manager of Hockey Development. He used to run the Centre of Excellence at Rogers Arena which was associated with Hockey Canada and BC Hockey. I used to spend lots of time there picking up coaching materials and practice plans. His job has changed a bit but he is sort of a liaison between the Canucks and all levels of community hockey (kind of a PR role) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Another question - What is Corey Hirsch's role as a Sportsnet analyst? I see his face when I'm blasting through Canucks intermissions on my PVR recording. Is he a hater because we waived him after four years of service?

CanuckleHorse Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Cory Hirsh is the cats behind probably the best sportsnet analyst besides the Canuck pacific crew Garret,Valk etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like his analysis and openess in discussing on ice play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
