Hello everyone, I would like to first take the opportunity to thank the Management of the Oro Medonte 77’s Hockey Club for giving me the chance to continue my coaching career in the GMHL and of course for welcoming me to the great Community of Oro Medonte. I began playing hockey as a youngster in Toronto. My family moved from Toronto to Barrie in 1987 and I was introduced to Barrie Minor Hockey. I began play at the AAA level in Minor Atom and finished up playing Midget AAA. Upon completion of minor hockey I played in Gravenhurst for the Gravenhurst Cubs Junior Hockey Club. Shortly after, I began my college studies and began to coach at the minor hockey level with the Barrie minor hockey Midget single A team. Last season I was an assistant coach working on a staff with Lui Ricci with the Nipissing Alouettes in the GMHL. I hope to draw on some of the learning and experiences that I had last year as an assistant coach in Nipissing and from my many great coaches that I have had in the past to help make our team a better one on the ice. I am currently employed as a Territory Sales Representative with Molson Canada in the Orillia/Muskoka Region. I have been with the company for several years and have now had the opportunity to move back home after 5 years in Northern Ontario. My Parents, Sandy and D’arcy live in Barrie and will most likely be two of our biggest fans this season as they have been my greatest supporters not only in hockey but in life. I look forward to seeing you all at the rink cheering on our boys as we look to bring a championship home to Oro. All The Best Patrick Geary Assistant Coach Oro Medonte 77’s Junior A Hockey Club |
