Jordan Clarke – Head Coach, U18AA / U16–U18 Development Lead
Jordan Clarke brings both high-level playing experience and strong junior coaching experience to our program. A native of Rockwood, Ontario, Clarke played junior hockey with the St. George Ravens (GMHL) where he developed into a physical 6’3” defenceman known for his competitiveness and presence on the blue line. He later continued his career professionally in the Federal Prospects Hockey League (FPHL) with the Elmira Enforcers and Delaware Thunder, gaining experience in demanding, high-tempo professional environments.

Following his playing career, Jordan transitioned into coaching and has worked within junior hockey programs in Dundas, Cambridge, and Brantford, helping guide and develop players competing at the junior level. His time in those environments has given him a strong understanding of the habits, discipline, and mindset required for players to succeed as they move up the ladder. 

Jordan will serve as Head Coach of our U18AA team, while also leading the development group for our U16–U18 programs. In this role, he will focus on helping prepare players for the next stage of their hockey journey, leveraging his junior experience and connections to help guide players toward opportunities at the junior level and beyond. 

What stands out most about Jordan as a coach is his genuine care for the players he works with. He believes development goes far beyond the ice, placing strong importance on confidence, mental well-being, and creating an environment where players feel supported while still being challenged to grow. Jordan understands that young athletes perform their best when they feel valued, supported, and confident, and he works hard to build those relationships with every player he coaches. 

Jordan brings a high-compete, team-first mentality to the rink while helping players develop not only as hockey players, but as people. His passion for teaching the game and supporting the overall well-being of young athletes makes him a strong addition to our coaching group and an important leader in the continued development of our players.

No Frills Waterdown
This Premium Sponsor knows that quality doesn’t have to cost a fortune and they show it to our community every single day! No Frills® introduced some highly innovative retailing concepts to Canadian consumers. While most grocery stores carried thousands of items, that first No Frills® featured only 500. And many of the products were themselves no frills, namely no name®, the line of generic products launched by Loblaws just months earlier. With their distinctive yellow packaging, bold lettering, and low prices, no name®, was proving a big hit with consumers. They're a lot cheaper than name brands, most of them are just as good and some of them are even better, commented one Toronto shopper.

Turtle Jack's
Friends and family gathered around the table sharing food and stories. Come on over to Turtle Jacks. In 1992, the Lishman family had a dockside moment of inspiration. What if there was a premium restaurant that offered delicious, fresh food served with the same fun, relaxed hospitality one enjoyed with family and friends at the cottage? From this simple idea, Turtle Jack’s Muskoka Grill was born. Twently-five years later, Turtle Jack’s continues its tradition of celebrating family, friendship and fun through its signature premium-casual dining experience. Guests are greeted as newly met friends, and then indulged with flavourful menu items prepared fresh each day by our talented kitchen team. Our local franchise takes this commitment to a higher level!
Dairy Queen
For more than 70 years, the DQ® system's recipe for success has been simple. It's been a combination of hardworking people who own and operate restaurants, and great-tasting food and tempting treats served in their establishments. Although much has changed in the world and in the DQ® system through the years, one constant has remained: DQ® restaurants are still, and always have been, the place to find kids' sports teams celebrating a victory, business people on their lunch break and families taking time out to enjoy great food and soft serve treats. And success for the DQ® system is as simple today as it was in 1940. Satisfied customers lead to successful restaurants. Our local Dairy Queen is no different! Head over and see for yourself!
