A native of Bowmanville, Dean grew up playing in Clarington before playing four seasons with the Eagles in the late ‘80's.  After playing, Dean coached for ten years in the OMHA, having great success with the 2000 age group in the AAA Clarington Zone organization. He moved on to be an assistant coach with the Whitby Fury (OJHL).  In summer of 2019, Dean joined the Eagles staff as the Head Coach. In his first year behind the bench, he led the team to a first-place regular season finish, impressing the expectations needed for winning.  Dean credits being a strong communicator, having a structured program, instilling discipline, commitment and respect to his success at every level of coaching. The PJHL league is ideal for the competitive player who is going to school full-time or working. It offers an elite level of competitive hockey with a schedule that accommodates diverse needs.

Born and raised in Bowmanville, Craig got his start in hockey during the 2016/17 season with the AAA Clarington Zone 2002 group as an assistant manager and statistician and has since worked in various capacities with the Whitby Wildcats and Whitby Fury prior to joining the Eagles.  Having a passion for sports and wanting to give back to the community he grew up in, Craig joined the Eagles in the summer of 2018 as the assistant trainer and equipment manager working under the guidance of Wes Jackson.  After Wes announced his retirement in the spring of 2019, while retaining his role as equipment manager, Craig took over as the head trainer of the team, immediately obtaining his Level 3 Trainer Certification, and later took on the additional role of Assistant General Manager.  Craig will continue to perform these roles moving forward, working side-by-side with Dean Baumhauer, to help build on the Eagles first place finish during 2019/20 season.
