The Huron-Perth Lakers are pleased to announce that Darcy Herrfort will be returning to coach the 1998 birth year group for the 2010-11 season.
A resident of Palmerston, Darcy's coaching experience stretches back well over a dozen years. Previous to serving as Head Coach for the ’98 Minor Peewee team he was an Assistant Coach for the Lakers '98 Minor and Major Atom teams. He also coached in Listowel and Minto where he lead the Minto Novice rep team to an OMHA title. His 15 years of extensive coaching experience includes both secondary and elementary athletes within the Avon Maitland District School Board.
Darcy coached last year’s Minor PeeWees to first place in the ALLIANCE AAA regular season. Building on this success, Darcy has a clear sense of direction as to the future of the '98 team: develop players’ abilities throughout a consistent regular season and prepare mentally for a strong playoff achievement. To do this, he has identified that hard work, a clear focus and a commitment to thinking the game will develop both individual skills and strong team play. As a student of the game, he wants to instil his leadership, knowledge, mental toughness and love for the game within his players, thus empowering them to reach their full potential.
Darcy resides in Palmerston with his wife Kim and two children, Chayse and Leah. He can be contacted through the information listed on the team's coaching staff page (
