Rockets Media Release: 

The Kelowna Rockets are proud to announce the hiring of 2023-24 CJHL Coach of the Year Mike Reagan as an Assistant Coach.

Reagan joins the Rockets following a 19-year tenure with the SJHL’s Flin Flon Bombers, where he served as Head Coach beginning in 2006-07 before taking on the dual role of General Manager and Head Coach in 2013-14.

During the 19 years behind the Bombers’ bench, Reagan compiled an impressive 606-334-88 regular season record while capturing five division titles and leading the club to six SJHL Finals, including a championship in 2025-26.

“We’re excited to welcome Mike to the Kelowna Rockets organization,” said President & General Manager Bruce Hamilton. “He has built a winning culture throughout his coaching career and brings a tremendous amount of experience in player development. Mike’s track record speaks for itself, and we believe he’ll be an outstanding addition to our staff.”

Reagan has also enjoyed extensive success on the international stage with Canada West at the World Junior A Challenge, helping the program capture gold as Video Coach in 2015-16 before earning another gold medal as Head Coach in 2017-18. He most recently guided Canada West to a bronze medal in 2024-25.

His coaching accomplishments have been recognized across Canadian junior hockey. Reagan was named both SJHL Coach of the Year and CJHL Coach of the Year in 2023-24, capping his career in Flin Flon with an SJHL championship in 2025-26.

“I am incredibly honoured and excited to join the prestigious Kelowna Rockets organization,” said newly appointed assistant coach Mike Reagan. “I look forward to working alongside the coaching staff and using my experience to help in any way I can to reach the goal of winning a championship.”
