The Salmon Arm SilverBacks have hired Chris Mikolajek as the club’s new athletic therapist and equipment manager.
Mikolajek, from Winnipeg, joins the SilverBacks after spending the last two seasons with the defending Manitoba Junior Hockey League champion Steinbach Pistons.
The University of Winnipeg graduate and certified Canadian Athletic Therapist has worked in a variety of sports including lacrosse, football and baseball.
“We are very happy to have found a great person like Chris to replace Troy Clifford,” said SilverBacks head coach/general manager Troy Mick. “To be able to land Chris so late in the summer is a real blessing for our club.” Mikolajek replaces Clifford, who recently accepted a promotion within the BC Ambulance Service.
