Regina Pats coach and Oak River native John Paddock will be inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame later this year.

The announcement will be made today.

A former member of the Brandon Wheat Kings, Paddock went on to play 10 seasons professionally, including 87 National Hockey League games, and won a pair of Calder Cup American Hockey League championships.

After his playing days, Paddock became a coach and executive, serving as the bench boss of the Winnipeg Jets and Ottawa Senators in the NHL and winning three more Calder Cup titles as a head coach.

Paddock became the head coach and senior vice-president of hockey operations for the Pats this season, earning the Eastern Conference’s nomination for the Western Hockey League coach-of-the-year award.

The induction ceremony will be held on Oct. 3 in Winnipeg.
