The Watertown Wolves of the FPHL are excited to announce Brent Clarke as our new Head Coach for the 2020/2021 Season. Most recently with the Elmira Enforcers, Clarkie brings a wealth of FPHL experience back to Watertown, where he was behind the bench for the team’s first Commissioners Cup win in 2015.As the current season ended, Brent and the Enforcers had won 10 straight games, and 21 out of the last 24, and had several players performing at the top of the individual standings.
“As our search for a coach narrowed, Clarkie stood out as the strongest candidate. He has many years of experience coaching successfully in the Fed, solid relationships to be able to consistently bring in new players when needed, and probably most importantly he has a track record of winning consistently. His dedication to building strong teams and getting the most out of his players really made him stand out to me during this process. I have said from day one that my biggest ambition is to be able to bring the great fans of Watertown a championship winning hockey team again, and getting an elite coach like Brent will help us get there”, said Andreas Johansson, Owner of the Wolves.
Brent became a fan favourite during his first stint in Watertown, and has become rooted locally as well, living with his family in Alexandria Bay, making the Wolves an ideal landing spot for him.
“First off, I would like to thank Andreas for this great opportunity, ” Clarke stated. “I am really excited to be back behind the Wolves’ bench again, having made some great memories here during our Championship-winning season in 2015. I remember we had a great team on the ice and the fans were just amazing throughout.
I plan on bringing an exciting style of hockey back to Watertown, something that embodies the spirit of the town and something our fans can really rally behind.
Recently, my family and I have also settled down in the area, which will make our pursuit of the cup even more exciting this time around.”
