On November 24, 2020, the Birmingham Bulls announced the promotion of Assistant Coach Craig Simchuk to Head Coach. After extensive research, the following is a definitive list of everything you need to know about Simchuk.

  1. He Looks Like Every Male Bachelor/Bachelorette Contestant Morphed into One
  • If you were to take Dylan from Hannah’s season, Juan Pablo from Desiree’s season and Colton from Colton’s season, you would get Bulls Head Coach Craig Simchuk. But unlike Dylan and Juan Pablo, this 5’11 bro isn’t worried about a first impression, his record speaks for itself.

2. He’s Good at Hockey

As a player, Simchuk tallied 29 goals in three seasons just 160 miles southeast of town with the Columbus Cottonmouths, taking them to the playoffs in their final year. After joining the Bulls in 2017 as a Captain, Simchuk had the second most assists on the team, tied with Left Winger Taylor Dickin. He also racked up two goals and five assists during the Bulls’ historic playoff run in 2018.

3. He’s a Winner

Simchuk knows all about starting off hot. In his final two seasons, he led the Bulls on a record breaking win streak of 11 consecutive games at the start of the season. The Bulls would finish second that year to the team up North in the President’s Cup, wrapping up the most successful season in the Bulls’ SPHL era.
