The search is over. The Grand Rapids Griffins announced the hiring of Head Coach Curt Fraser today, capping off 5 weeks of speculation as to the identity of the new bench boss. Fraser, a former NHL player and coach, becomes the eighth Head Coach in Griffins history, taking over for the recently fired Mike Stothers. His task will be to display some of the magic he had in Orlando (IHL) and Milwaukee (IHL) where he racked up 281 wins in 6 seasons.
