Craig Streu takes over for Joe West in Hannover

The Hannover Indians have handed over the coaching reins to Craig Streu for the 2009-10 season. The move follows the retirement of Joe West who succeeded in getting the Indians promoted to the Bundesliga this past season. Streu was let go by the Fischtown Penguins of Bremerhaven after leading them to the play-offs in his first season behind the bench.
