As the Yorkton Terriers get set to lace up the skates for another season of Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League action, they welcome a new face to take care of things off the ice.聽

Caden Allingham was hired in late June to take on the role of athletic therapist/equipment manager for the Terriers this season. The job opened up after former athletic therapist/equipment manager Nathan Hollinger took a new job at the Okanagan Hockey Academy in British Columbia.聽

Allingham, from Kincardine, Ont., started his athletic therapy major at Sheridan College in 2011. During his years there, he spent time working as a therapist in a number of sports including hockey, football and baseball. He graduated this past April and said he knew he wanted to pursue a career in hockey therapy.

鈥淲ith hockey, there鈥檚 that team atmosphere. It鈥檚 almost like a family relationship,鈥 said Allingham. 鈥淔ootball has egos and stuff like that, and in baseball I didn鈥檛 really see many injuries 鈥 or if I did, they were all the same.鈥澛

His resume includes working with high school hockey teams and the Ryerson University men鈥檚 hockey team. Last hockey season he was with a midget AAA team in Guelph.聽

He explained that while he was looking for a job this season, he applied to multiple SJHL teams. Then late one night, he sent his resume along to Terriers鈥 head coach/GM Casey O鈥橞rien.聽

鈥淎nd that was that,鈥 he said.聽

Allingham arrived in Yorkton last week and with fall camp set to start on Friday, he鈥檚 been busy. 聽

He said he鈥檚 definitely excited for the season to get going.聽

鈥淚鈥檓 looking forward to getting back behind the bench again, getting in some hockey games and hopefully going for a winning season,鈥 Allingham said.聽

The next week will be busy for the Terriers.聽

Their annual golf tournament is on Thursday, Aug. 31 at Deer Park Golf Course in Yorkton. The tournament acts as a fundraiser for the team.聽

The weekend will consist of fall camps. Both new and returning players will be coached through a series of camps, endurance sessions and scrimmage games as the coaching staff gets an idea of what they鈥檒l see on the ice for the start of the season. 聽聽
