Theroux Honoured as 2016-17 ACAC Curling Coach of the Year

LLOYDMINSTER (Feb. 25, 2017) – The Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) is pleased to announce Dylan Theroux Head Coach of the Concordia University of Edmonton Thunder as the 2016-17 ACAC Curling Coach of the Year.

In just his first season as Head Coach of the Thunder, Theroux has guided both the women's and mixed teams to first place standings following the ACAC Winter Regional play-downs.

"Dylan has done a tremendous job in his first year as our curling coach and we are very happy to have him on our staff" said Concordia Athletic Director Joel Mrak. "He has a calm and approachable demeanour around the athletes and they have responded positively this season. The results achieved thus far are a reflection of a combined effort of the group of student athletes we have and the energy and professionalism that Dylan brings to the ice."

Theroux has enjoyed a long history with the sport of curling, having competed as both a player and a coach for the past 13 years.  From 2009 to 2012, Theroux competed against the top tier curlers in the province and placed 4th in both the 2010 and 2012 Alberta Juvenile Provincials.

In ACAC competition this season Theroux's young charges have amassed an enviable record of success with the Thunder women's curling team posting a 9-2 record while the mixed squad has tallied a 12-2 record including a perfect 7-0 run at the ACAC Winter Regional. 

The ACAC Curling Coach of the Year award was presented to Theroux at the ACAC Curling Championships Awards banquet in Vermilion, Alta. hosted by Lakeland College on February 25th, 2017.
