Thunder coach faces old Utah boss tonight
Thursday, Oct. 15, 1998 | 1:10 a.m.
Thunder head coach Bob Bourne will face good friend and former boss Butch Goring when the Las Vegas Thunder hosts IHL Southwest Division rival Utah tonight at 7:05 at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Bourne and Goring coached the Thunder during its inaugural campaign of 1993-94 before heading off to guide the Grizzlies the following season. Bourne eventually left the Grizzlies to coach Central Texas of the Western Professional Hockey League in 1996-97, but returned to assist Goring last season.
The Thunder enters the game 0-2-0 with 13 goals against. Both losses were to the Houston Aeros at the T&M.
The Grizzlies are also 0-2-0 after losing a home-and-home series against defending division champ Long Beach.
