"Bruce is a solid leader who is very capable of leading this team," Fury General Manager Tim Taylor said.

"This is a happy day for me and my family," Ramsay said. "I've learned a lot over the last two years here in Muskegon. I'm excited to be able to work with Tim (Taylor) and put together a championship-caliber team. It's going to be a year to remember here in Muskegon."
