Hnat Domenichelli and Parker Burgess were introduced as the new general manager and head coach of the Vancouver Giants on Thursday .

Both come with built-in connections to the WHL team.

Hnat is a former WHL star with the Kamloops Blazers before finishing his playing career in Europe .

Burgess , 40 , is running the bench in place of Manny Viveiros , who left the team in mid-May for a spot with Red Bull Salzburg .

Vancouver finished sixth in the Western Conference last season and lost in five games in the first round to the Spokane Chiefs .

It was the third straight first -round loss for the club.

Burgess wants an “enthusiastic, passionate team,” and one that “fans can appreciate and come to the rink knowing that they’re competing”.
