BRUCE COLES # 12

BRUCE CAME TO THE RIVERSIDE RINK ALONG WITH GARY YAREMCHUK AND RICHARD LITTLE IN THE SUMMER OF 1993.  BRUCE WAS PROBABLY THE BEST GOAL-SCORER OUT OF THE THREE, BUT AFTER DISAGREEMENTS WITH THE THEN COACH, COLES LEFT SHORTLY AFTER HIS ARRIVAL.  BRUCE WAS A QUICK SKATER, COULD HIT AND ALSO FIGHT WHEN NEEDED.  SOME LIKENED HIM TO RICK BREBANT. COLES RETURNED TO CANADA AND STARRED FOR HERSEY BEARS AND PHILADELPHIA PHANTOMS IN THE AHL, ONE STEP BELLOW THE NHL. BRUCE'S WASPS STATS SEASON  GP  G   A   PTS PIM 1993-94   21  37  26   63   77
