Head coach Zack Gervais and his staff capture the honour
Those who serve behind the bench with the Amherstburg Admirals have captured an award.
The coaches with the local Jr. C hockey club were named the Provincial Junior Hockey League (PJHL) West Stobbs Division Coaching Staff of the Year. The announcement came last Friday.
The staff is made up of head coach Zack Gervais and assistant coaches A.J. Ryan, Justin Toth and Glen Gervais.
Zack Gervais started the season as an assistant coach but was elevated to head coach last November after former head coach Beau Hunter was let go.
Toth and Ryan were added to the staff when Gervais became head coach.
“It’s a great accomplishment,” said Gervais, after Game 2 of the PJHL Stobbs Division semi-final series.
Gervais gave credit to those around him, including all the coaches and others within the Admirals’ organization.
“You can’t do this without the players,” said Gervais. “Management did a great job of getting the players here. It’s a great accomplishment.”
Gervais said he found out about the Stobbs Division Coaching Staff of the Year honour through a screenshot sent to him and the other coaches from general manager Andrew Sykes. He added all within the organization share in the award, including the trainer, equipment staff and more.
“It’s got a lot to do with the players in the room,” said Gervais. “You can’t accomplish this without the players.”
