Red Deer councillor Kraymer Barnstable named Olds Grizzlys goalie coach
The AJHL team has tapped a local goaltending veteran with more than 15 years of coaching experience to lead its netminders this season.
The Olds Grizzlys have hired Kraymer Barnstable as the team's new goalie coach. Barnstable, a sitting City of Red Deer councillor, brings more than 15 years of experience developing goaltenders to the junior hockey club.
Barnstable founded Red Deer-based Stable in the Net in 2008 to train local goalies and previously served as goalie coach for the WHL's Red Deer Rebels from 2018 to 2021.
Originally from Kelowna, Barnstable played junior hockey with the WHL's Vancouver Giants in 2007-08 and the Red Deer Rebels in 2009-10, before finishing his junior career with the Lloydminster Bobcats of the Alberta Junior Hockey League in 2010-11. He went on to play two seasons at the University of British Columbia and three at Red Deer College, and also suited up for senior teams including the Lacombe Generals, Innisfail Eagles and Red Deer Rustlers.
The Grizzlys announced the hire in a Facebook post welcoming Barnstable back to junior hockey to work with the team's goaltenders this season.
