From his home in the Maritimes to the Ontario Hockey League and the start of a promising hockey career that was only cut short by injury (that didn't stop him from playing against Joe Sakic at the old Colisee, though). If you ask him now, Jake Grimes will tell you that coaching is the next best thing to being on the ice. Grimes is well-known for spending considerable time alongside George Burnett, from Belleville to Guelph. But there are also stops in Peterborough and in the Q before settling where he is today, back in USports. While Grimes has been to Memorial Cups, the championship has eluded him...but international success has not. From playing for Larry Mavety to coaching with the Guelph Storm during their remarkable 2019 come-from-behind playoff run, Grimes has stories to spare and the willingness to share them.
