Bellissimo named Head Coach
The Toronto Jr. A Canadiens are proud to announce Vince Bellissimo as their 6th Head Coach in franchise history. Bellissimo's extensive resume covers coaching stints with the Toronto Red Wings, St. Michael's Buzzers, Aurora Tigers, and the Vaughan Kings.
A former player for the Buzzers, Bellissimo played in the NCAA for Western Michigan University and 6 seasons professionally in North America and Europe. He was a 5th round draft pick of the Florida Panthers in 2002. Last season, Bellissimo coached the Vaughan Kings 2008 team to a 2nd place finish and an OHF birth. Prior to coaching in the Kings organization, Bellissimo coached the Aurora Tigers to a 36-12-1-5 record, god for 1st in the North East Conference. In the playoffs, he led the Tigers to the North East Conference Finals before losing to the eventual Buckland Cup Champion and National Finalist, the Wellington Dukes.
The Toronto Jr. A Canadiens are excited to bring him into the fold as head into a new direction. This addition is the start of a complete overhaul, as we will continue to make improvements in the front office and continue with roster personnel.
