‘Former Sabre Teppo Numminen was also on the ice with the team. He’s been added as an assistant coach to Ruff’s staff for the upcoming season. “He’s going to be the guy upstairs on the headset,” Ruff said. “In the past we’ve had various people fill that role and now we’re going to have a full-time assistant do it.
