KAMLOOPS — It will be the one inaugural season and done for the Kamloops NorthPaws’ manager.

The team announced Tuesday (Feb. 8) that Cole Armstrong accepted a coaching position with the Webber Academy’s Wildcats baseball program in Calgary.

Armstrong will move from Kamloops later in February, but he’ll return in May to guide the NorthPaws through their inaugural season in the West Coast League (WCL).

“Congratulations to Cole. We’re excited for him because we see our organization as a steppingstone, not only for our players, but for our coaches too,” Norm Daley, NorthPaws co-owner says.

The NorthPaws hired Armstrong as their inaugural manager in October 2020. The former professional baseball player from Surrey served as a coach in Minor League Baseball for the Chicago White Sox organization.
