Sept 2

CLOQUET – The search to replace longtime Cloquet-Esko-Carlton girl’s hockey coach Dick Bartholdi
may be
nearing a conclusion. A committee who interviewed potential candidates has made a recommendation that assistant coach Mike Bushey take the helm of the program.

Bushey’s recommendation to be hired will be made to the school board at their next regularly scheduled meeting. Reportedly there were nine candidates who applied for the position, with interviews finishing up on Wednesday.

In the early years of the program Bushey was an assistant to Bartholdi, but then left the program to pursue other interests. Last season Bushey came back to the program at mid-season.

Bushey has also been instrumental in the cross country running program in the fall where he is the head coach of that sport as well.

Expect a more in-depth story after the school board meeting.
