Front Office

Thom Brigl, CEO and Team Owner has owned the Bobcats since the 2001 Season. Thom is a Mandan native and graduated from MHS in 1978. He became involved with the Bobcats for three reasons; a passion for Western North Dakota, a passion for youth and a passion for the game of hockey which he acquired as a Fighting Sioux fan while attending UND. He has three children, Justin 30, who played four years at St. Mary’s University in Winona, Minn., Tyler, a former Bobcat, who recently graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire, and Meaghan, who is a senior at the University of Wisconsin - Stout. Thom and his wife Brenda (Schulte) also a MHS ’78 graduate live in Eagan, Minn., and are proud to present the Bismarck Bobcats and all that they stand for in the community and to the development of young men and North Dakota youth.

Audrey Halverson, Director of Public Relations and Sales Executive, has been with the Bobcats since the 2006 season. She started off volunteering as a member of the Cat Crew and has since worked her way up to her current position. Audrey is a Bismarck native who graduated from Century High School and Bismarck State College. Throughout her years with the Bobcats, Audrey has developed a passion for the game of hockey and a desire to produce the best possible entertainment for the greatest fans in the NAHL. She would also love to see this year's team repeat as both Central Division and bring the Robertson Cup back to Bismarck/Mandan once again.

2011-12 marks Krista Rau's 12th season with Bobcat Hockey and second as Director of Ticketing. Krista started with the Bobcats' ticketing staff in the franchise's early years before taking over as Director of Ticketing during the 2008-09 campaign. Hailing from Fessenden, Krista is a 2001 graduate of Bismarck State College.

The 2011-12 season is the third for Paul Teeple with Bobcat Hockey. A 2005 graduate of Ohio University's Scripps School of Journalism, Paul has been behind the microphone at all levels of hockey since 2001. In addition to broadcasting at the high school, junior, collegiate and pro levels, Paul has also played, coached and otherwise been a part of the game since age three. His father, Brian Teeple, was a former goaltending prospect of the Detroit Red Wings in the early 1970's. Once upon a time, Paul also played a mean game of lacrosse: being named third-team All-State in Ohio in 2000.

Bunny Greig is back once again Housing Director for the Bobcats for the 2011-12 season after returning to the post for 2009-10. This is her eighth season overall as Housing Director, and she and her husband Gary have been housing junior players in Bismarck since 1992. The Greigs have housed over 50 players and still keep in touch with nearly all of them. Bunny also works for the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services, where she has been a state employee for over 40 years. Bunny and Gary have one daughter, Dawn, and three dogs, Mickey, Minnie and Sophie. Starting with the 2011-12 season, Bunny has also taken on the duty of running the Bobcats' concession stand & merchandise sales.
