Grand Forks "Central" Boys Head Hockey Coach Tony Bina resigns as Head Coach of the Knights to accept the G.F. Central Activities Director position.
For the past eight years, G.F. Central saw Tony Bina behind their bench. Beginning the 2013-14 season a new coach will guide the Knights. That is due to an opportunity presented to Coach Bina at G.F. Central High School as he has been announced as the school's new Activities Director. Due to this position, Coach Bina was unable to do both jobs which he knew going in. I want to thank Coach Bina for all of his support of this site and work he did for the sport of high school hockey in the state as a representative on the coaches advisory for ice hockey. As Activities Director, I know he will still be active around the rink and the sport. Congratulations Coach on your new position and for all of your support of this hockey website and working with me over the past eight years!
