A statement from Gina Kingsbury, Toronto Sceptres General Manager:
Today, it was announced that Troy Ryan has accepted a new opportunity with San Jose. While we are disappointed to see Troy leave, we are genuinely happy for him as he takes this next step in his career. On behalf of the Toronto Sceptres organization, we want to thank Troy for his leadership, dedication, and meaningful contributions in helping build and shape our organization during an important chapter in our journey.
Although transitions like this are never easy, they also create new opportunities for growth and evolution. We are confident in the people, structure, and environment we have built in Toronto and believe strongly in our ability to continue building something special together.
Our search for a new Head Coach is already underway. We will approach this process with care, intention, and thoroughness. Our priority will be identifying a leader who will be able to earn the trust of our locker room, supports the continued growth and performance of our athletes and organization, and reflects the values, expectations, and vision of our market, including our loyal fans.
Most importantly, our athletes and their needs will remain at the forefront of this decision. We remain deeply committed to creating a high-performance environment where our players, staff, and organization can continue to thrive.
We are grateful to Troy for everything he has contributed to the Toronto Sceptres and wish him continued success in this next opportunity.
