Jeff Wagner "I’m extremely excited to be given the opportunity as Head Coach and General Manager of the Fernie Ghostriders. I’d like to extend my gratitude to the Creston Valley Thunder Cats for the support they have shown me over the past two years. I’d also like to thank Barb Anderson and the Board of Directors of the Ghostriders for putting their trust in me.

I look forward to joining an organization that has a strong history of championship caliber teams and joining a community that has an outstanding and loyal fan base. During my two years in the league, Fernie has always been one of my favourite destination to be in and I can’t wait to hit the ground running."
