Alumni Report: Troy Smith





The Plymouth Whalers have several banners proudly hanging from the rafters!








     When the Plymouth Whalers head on the road tonight, they'll face a Whaler Alumni on the opposing bench. Troy Smith is the head coach of the Kitchener Rangers, and spent four seasons with the Plymouth Whalers organization.  During the 1995-1996 season, and the 1996-1997 season, the team was known as the Detroit Whalers.  Smith was a talented defenseman, but rarely scored goals for the Whalers.  Smith scored just 1 goal in each of his first two seasons with the Whalers, but did contribute a combined total of 21 assists through that time period.  Smith slightly increased his scoring totals during the 1997-1998 season scoring 3 goals, and adding 13 assists.  By the 1998-1999 season, Smith had proven to be a dual threat on the ice scoring 6 goals, and adding 13 assists, in 54 games with the Whalers.  After his time in the Ontario Hockey League, Smith went on to play professional hockey in the ECHL (formerly the East Coast Hockey League), along with other professional hockey leagues.  Troy Smith has been on the Kitchener Ranger coaching staff since 2006, and served as the assistant coach, until excepting the head coach responsibilities this season.
     The Plymouth Whalers have had several recent Playoff battles against the Kitchener Rangers.  The Mitten State Sports Report has archived photos from some of those games.  Click on past months to check out all of the Mitten State Sports Report's archived material.
