Coach John was drafted by the North Bay Centennials of the OHL and earned an NCAA Division I scholarship to Union College. A significant injury during his Freshman year redirected his focus from pursuing professional play to developing athletes through skills coaching and strength training. Since then, he has had the privilege of working with players at all levels — including those in the NHL — helping them grow both on and off the ice. Passionate about creating a clear and competitive development path for southern athletes, Coach John brings deep knowledge, high standards, and relentless energy to the Beast program. We’re excited to have him lead our 15U team into the 2025–26 season, where he’ll challenge our players to compete with intensity and develop into true beasts against top-tier competition.

Coach Frankie was a standout player in the Maritime Hockey League, earning an NCAA Division III scholarship to Fredonia, where he played four seasons at the collegiate level. He went on to play professionally in both North America and Europe, gaining valuable experience across playing styles and systems. His coaching journey began with the renowned Turcotte Stickhandling School, and he later worked with RHP Training Centre in Sudbury, where he trained players ranging from youth to NHL-caliber talent. Known for his positive energy and attention to detail, Coach Frankie brings a deep passion for both skill development and mindset coaching. We’re excited to have him lead our 10U team into the 2025–26 season, where his leadership will help our youngest players build confidence, grow together, and start their journey to becoming true beasts on and off the ice.

Our 14U team will have both Frankie and John as co-coaches! With both coaches at the helm, this team should show unbelievable improvement!
