League changes


The league added two teams for 2016–17: the Cape Breton Highlanders in Sydney, Nova Scotia, and the KW Titans in Kitchener, Ontario. The Saint John Mill Rats franchise also transferred ownership and was rebranded to the Saint John Riptide.[2]



Offseason coaching changes



  • The Cape Breton Highlanders hired Dean Murray as their inaugural head coach.

  • The Halifax Hurricanes hired Kevin Keathley to replace Hugo López. However, Keathley left the team in the pre-season for personal reasons and was then replaced by Mike Leslie.

  • The KW Titans hired Serge Langis as their inaugural head coach.

  • The Orangeville A's hired Brandon Lesovsky to replace Chris Thomas

  • The Saint John Riptide retained Rob Spon as head coach during the franchise transition.

  • The Windsor Express' head coach from 2014–15, Bill Jones, returned from his one-year suspension.



Midseason coaching changes



  • The Cape Breton Highlanders relieved inaugural head coach Dean Murray of his duties on January 22, 2017. The team promoted assistant coach Ben Resner to replace Murray.

  • The Niagara River Lions' head coach Grâce Lokole stepped down from his position and became the assistant coach on March 11, 2017. The team named current Niagara College head coach Keith Vassell as the interim head coach.[3]
