SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. – A former Saskatchewan hockey coach has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting young boys. Ryan Chamberlin, 39, pleaded guilty Monday to three counts of sexual assault and one count of child luring.

Crown prosecutor Steve Kreitzer said six charges were dropped because they were charges on the same actions.

Chamberlin was a hockey coach in several southwest Saskatchewan communities. He had also helped coach a volleyball team at Centennial Elementary School in Swift Current in the fall of 2014.
