Posted: Thu Aug 24, 2023 12:18 am
The Blazers called a press conference today to introduce their new Director of Sports Medicine, Hamza Tanaoglu. They also thanked their former director Wei-guo Yang for his service last season with the club, but it was no secret in the industry that the team had been dissatisfied with Yang's performance during his brief tenure.
Hamza Tanaoglu
Tanaoglu is well regarded across the league after nine years in the same position with the San Antonio Outlaws. His expertise at preventing injuries to limbs is unrivaled, and his approach to fatigue recovery is widely held up as best practice.
Rumors had been circulating for weeks about the Tanaoglu hire, but sources say that the holdup was his family's reluctance to move to Montreal. It was only after owner John Percolo sent his private jet to fly them to the Paris of North America and personally escorted them around the city that Tanaoglu agreed to join the club.
