The Nipigon Junior Hockey Club is bringing in a pair of Augers behind the bench for next season.

Just days after announcing that the club is under new management and gearing up for a transformation, General Manager Carl Lombardo unveiled over the Easter Weekend that Cory Auger will be the new Head Coach and Kyle Auger assumes an Associate Head Coach role.

Cory becomes the fourth bench boss in five seasons for the franchise, following in the footsteps of Carter Hargreaves, John Coppock and Malcolm Sutherland.

Nipigon won just two games in the regular season in 2024/2025 and did not compete in the Joe Ward Memorial Trophy Playoffs. The franchise finished fourth in 2022/2023 with nine wins in the regular season.

Nipigon is an original franchise since the league began play in 1993.
