Behind the Bench with U11
The Southern Tier Admirals are proud to announce that Scott Barnes will be returning to the bench to coach the U11 team. Welcome back, Coach Barnes! We’re excited to have his leadership and experience guiding our U11 Admirals this season.
Scott is just finishing up his 8th year coaching for STA. He has also coached JR B for 8 years previously. Over this time with STA he has made 3 OMHA appearances, 2 OHL Cup appearances, with 1 OMHA Championship. On his U16 teams he coached he had 18 OHL draft picks with 11 of them playing in the league and another 6 players moved on to NCAA. While coaching his Jr team he helped in the development of numerous players who moved on to higher levels including pro, OHL and NCAA. Scott has been in hockey development for the past 21 years and has worked with players from the NHL on down. Scott is looking forward to continuing to work with the 2016 age group and guiding their development again in U11 next season.
