Virtue resigns

I'm sure you all heard this already, but I was on top of a mountain up in Banff.  From Drinnan:

Terry Virtue has resigned as the Tri-City Americans’ associate coach. According to a news release from the Americans, Virtue resigned “due to personal reasons.” . . . Virtue (Tri-City, Victoria, Portland, 1988-91) played 16 seasons of pro hockey before joining the Americans’ coaching staff for the 2007-08 season. . . . General manager Bob Tory said: “We have targeted our candidate to fill Terry’s position and we expect to make an announcement early next week.”  (Taking Note)

The immediate assumption is that he's joining Don Nachbaur in Spokane (do they have an assistant position open?) and/or Hiller wants his own guy and kept Virtue on for the transition year.  I guess we'll see when we see where "Virch" ends up.  I guarantee he'll be missed.  Here's to best of luck in whatever adventures are in his future.*

*unless he really goes to Spokane, then only 2nd best of luck :)
