Lloydminster, AB – Andrew Gilbert is set to begin his 7th season tomorrow morning at the Lloydminster Bobcats Main Camp and will do so with a new title as Assistant General Manager.

Since day one we have focused on continuing the strong tradition of junior hockey in Lloydminster and I’m extremely humbled and excited to embrace the new challenges this role presents. Nigel and I both arrived in Lloydminster together and it has always been our goal to bring this city a championship and we are hopeful that the foundation has been set to take that next step as an organization.
