This season marks Larry's ninth season as GM (after spending 10 seasons as a coach) at the Junior A level. He brings a wealth of knowledge, being a Level 4 certified coach and having coached at all levels of minor hockey.

Larry's coaching career began in Unionville where he coached the Peewee team to the All-Ontario Championship in the 1984-85 season. Larry continued his coaching at the AAA level in Thornhill and Markham before joining the Markham Waxers for the 1991-92 season.

The next year, Larry hooked up with Brad Selwood and the Thornhill Islanders Minor Midget team and then moved up to the new Islander Junior team in 1993 and remained with the franchise until this year's return to the Waxers.

Larry has become a solid, well-respected coach and GM, thanks to his honesty and frankness and impressive hockey knowledge and teaching ability.

Larry is an entrepreneur owning his own business in Markham. He and wife Brenda live in Aurora and have two sons (Russ and Andy) and four grand children (Regan, Griffin, Morgan and Samuel).
