News broke last week that Scott Nicholson will not return to the Pickering Panthers as the Assistant Genernal Manager. " I received a message about an opportunity to interview with the Manitoba Moose, I interviewed on a Friday Morning and got offered the position Friday Night, It has been a whirlwind of the 2 weeks, I am sad to leave Pickering, but excited for the new opportunity."

After Pre-Season, Scott will be leaving his position as AGM and moving into a Team Services Coordinator role with the Manitoba Moose of the AHL , " He's ready for the next step, he's been non-stop grinding for 10 years now in the OJHL, It is time for Banger to go show what he excels at ."Head Coach and GM Rob Pearson remarked, " Scotty is passionate, knows our league inside and out, and was a big part of what we did last year, I am so happy or him, I know he will do well!"

Pickering Panthers wish Scott, nothing but the best in his future endeavors and wish him all the best.
