The 2009-2010 coaching staff has been finalized with the addition of 4 coaches. Any program would be hard pressed to find a more knowledgable and experienced coaching staff than the one at Nichols School.
Scott Hurd, former assistant at St. Francis HS, will be joining the Nichols staff this season. Coach Hurd has been a prominent figure in the Western NY hockey scene for many years, and he will be an integral part of the advancement of Nichols Hockey. Hurd's knowledge of players and player development will be invaluable.
Darcy Brewer returns to the staff for his third year at Nichols School. Before Nichols, Coach Brewer spent time as a coach at the Landon School in Bethesda, MD. His prevous experience with the players will be relied upon as the program ventures in a new direction.
Wayne Clarke, an assistant coach last season, will be working only in the fall. A 1992 draft pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs and RPI graduate, Coach Clarke brings a great deal of knowledge and perspective to the fall program. He will have a key role in developing the young players.
David Smith will round out the fall staff. In addition to his role as monitor for the health and wellness of NHL officials, Coach Smith has spent many hours training elite hockey players around the globe. He will be a tremendous addition as the fall program ventures to develop more talented hockey players.
