Derek's extensive background in hockey and business have led him to his position as the West Division's Executive Director. As a player, coach and manager at the elite junior and professional levels, his understanding of the game is at the foundation of the Division's philosophy of dedication, opportunity, and advancement. His hockey experience is rounded out by his vast business and education experience, which includes a Doctorate in Business, in the area of Indigenous relationships. This has no doubt contributed to the GMHL West Division having by far the highest Indigenous player-per-team ratio of any Junior organization on the planet!
