Former Vancouver Canucks defenceman Aaron Rome is taking on a new but familiar role as an assistant coach with the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL. 

Rome, who played in the NHL for eight seasons and three as a Canuck, spent last season as the head coach of the Wheat Kings’ U-17 AAA team. Previously, he has also taken on a role with the Wheat Kings as a skills coach (2017–18 to 2018–19), while also serving as an assistant coach in 2016–17. In his first season as an assistant coach for Brandon, the Wheat Kings put together a record of 31–31–7–3, putting them at fourth in the WHL’s East Division.
