The Northern Ontario Hockey Association and the Great North Midget League have announced Matt Rabideau has been named Team NOHA’s Director of Operations for the 2017-2018 Season. Rabideau currently serves as Assistant General Manager and Director of Player Development for the North Bay Battalion, a role he has held since the 2012-2013 Season. Rabideau plans and coordinates Training/Orientation Camp, manages all functions with the team’s billet program, books all team trips, and manages all functions of the OHL Priority Selection, among other duties. Previously, Rabideau worked in the OHL Office, as the Manager of Hockey and Education.

Myre says Rabideau will ensure that Team NOHA continues to be a top development opportunity for the Minor Midget aged players in Northern Ontario.
