Jeremy began skating and playing hockey at age two in Moose Jaw SK, later moving to Penticton, BC where he played two years of Midget AAA hockey. His junior career covered four years in Alaska, BC, Florida, and New Mexico before heading off to Concordia College in Minnesota. As the first player signed by the UHL expansion team The Motor City Mechanics, he played alongside Chelios, Hatcher, Draper, Avery, and Smolinski due to NHL lock-out. On that team was former Brahmas defensemen and current Jr. Brahmas coach Tim Laurila as well. His playing career concluded as a member of the Huntsville Havoc of the SPHL in 2005.
As a coach with The Fort Worth Texans of the WSHL, his squad won the Thorne Cup Championship and finished 4th in the Silver Cup Nationals. 19 of 23 players were promoted Jr. A or NCAA colleges the following season. In 2006-07 he led the Tucson Tilt also in the WSHL to a record of 19-1, ranked #1 nationally. He has served as head instructor at Okanagan Hockey Academy for the past 9 summers. Jeremy and wife Chanel currently reside in Burleson with Daughters, Storey (3) and Mayzie (1).
NYTEX Sports partner Knute Anderson said, “this is a huge day in the growth of our organization and I am absolutely thrilled to have Jeremy assume the lead for our dynamic young coaching staff”, “we have know each other for years and it is a pleasure to be working beside him, he is a certain match to the Brahmas championship culture”.
