The Amherstburg Admirals have announced a new coaching staff for the upcoming 2026-27 season. The local junior hockey team, which plays out of the Libro Centre, confirmed on April 7, 2026, that all incoming coaches have previous ties to the organization.
The Amherstburg Admirals compete in the Stobbs Division of the Provincial Junior Hockey League. This leadership change marks a shift for the program, as the head coach position is currently vacant, confirming that Zack Gervais will not be returning to lead the team next season. Gervais and his staff, including assistants AJ Ryan, Justin Toth, and Gabe Gervais, were previously recognized as the Coaching Staff of the Year for the West Stobbs Division.
General Manager Andrew Sykes oversees the team’s operations with support from owners Greg Crain and Matt Fox. The organization has focused on program continuity by selecting coaches familiar with the team’s operations. Beyond the changes on the bench, the club also announced that trainer Jenna Jardine will not be returning for the next season.
These adjustments follow a period of growth for the franchise. The team finished the 2024-25 season with a 20-19-1 record, marking a 23-point improvement over the previous year. During that campaign, the Admirals also secured their first playoff series victory in five years by defeating the Wheatley Sharks.
