[8]
On October 14, PremiAir confirmed the departure of Chris Pither at the end of the 2022 season. [9] A week later PremiAir revealed that Tim Slade would be signing on to the team for the 2023 season, replacing Chris Pither. [10] Later, PremiAir confirmed that James Golding would continue with the team for the 2023 season. [11]
