One of my oldest friends joins me to share his journey that has taken him all over the world as a player and then a coach and now back to Canada where he holds the reigns of one of the most storied franchises in junior hockey, The Peterborough Petes. The Petes have boasted famous coaches such as Scotty Bowman, Roger Neilson, Mike Keenan and Dick Todd. Rob Wilson steps in at the helm of a team that he also played for back in the late '80's.
Rob has also seen playing time in the pro ranks in North America as well as over in Europe and is a member of the British ice hockey hall of fame. He transitioned into coaching after his playing days in 2003-04 with stints in the EIHL and with Great Britain's National Team. He's coached in Italy and Germany and just prior to taking over the Petes was the head coach of the DEL's Nuremberg Ice Tigers from 2015-2018 and was named the DEL Coach of the Year in 2016-17.
Rob is originally from Rexdale, Ontario and played all his minor hockey in the (M)GTHL. He now resides in Ennismore, ONT with his two daughters and his wife Heidi and her son.
