Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff reports that the Red Wings have filled the vacancy caused by amateur scout Kevin Gibson’s decision to leave the Red Wings to become the GM of the USHL’s Waterloo Black Hawks:
The Detroit Red Wings have filled out the club’s scouting staff. Veteran scout Marty Hogan will be taking over for the departed Kevin Gibson as an amateur scout.
Hogan, 43, owns a lengthy resume of scouting in the Ontario Hockey League ranks. He has worked as a scout for the past eight years with the Ottawa 67s.
“Scout Marty Hogan has accepted a scouting position with the Detroit Red Wings,” the 67s posted on the club’s social media sites. “We’d like to thank Marty for all of his contributions over the last eight years with us, and wish him all the best with the Red Wings. Great, knowledgeable hockey man and unbelievable human being.”
Before his time with the 67s, Hogan served five years as an OHL scout with the Niagara IceDogs and one season with the Mississauga Steelheads.
He also spent two years as the video coach with the Estonian U18 national team. Currently, he is employed as an assistant coach by the NCAA Division III Lake Forest Foresters in Lake Forest, Illinois.
Continued; I would not be surprised if Red Wings coach Todd McLellan added one more coach to flesh out his staff of assistant coaches Trent Yawney and Alex Tanguay, as well as video coordinator Jeff Weintraub.
