BIO: COACH BASTIEN

The Junior Brahmas welcome the return of Coach Joey Bastien to the Brahmas organization.  Joey was a lead forward for the Fort Worth Brahmas from 2003 to 2005.

Joey grew up in Edmonton Alberta Canada and began playing hockey at the age of four.  He played youth and club hockey until the age of 16 when he moved on to play Major Junior hockey in the WHL.  He spent five years playing Juniors and then began his professional career.  He played professionally for eight years in the CHL, UHL and in Europe in the Norwegian Elite League.  He retired in 2007 and returned to North Texas with his wife, Leah, and his three year old son, Jett.

Joey brings a great deal of playing expertise and coaching experience to the Junior Brahmas.  He is committed to the development of our Midget players and looks forward to a successful season.

PEE WEE 2000 COACHES UNVEILED

Wearing the whistles for the upcoming 2011-12 Jr. Brahmas season for the Pee Wee 2000 will be Head Coach Joey Bastien and Assistant Coaches James Frye and Jeremy Law. 

Bastien is no stranger to the Jr. Brahmas staff as he was Head Coach for the Midget Major AA in 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons. Last season, Bastien led his team to the semifinals in the NTXHL Playoffs. Prior to joining the Brahmas, the Edmonton, ALTA native was the Assistant  Coach for the varsity and JV teams (2008-09) before taking the reins as Head JV Coach in 2009-10. His first introduction in high school hockey came in 2001 and 2002 where he was the Assistant Coach for the Varsity hockey squad at Kamiakin High School (WA). 

Success followed Bastien from on the ice to behind the bench as he played eight solid seasons of professional hockey (UHL, CHL and Norwegian Elite League) from 2001-08. Bastien has proven to be a ‘true Brahma’ since his playing days with the Brahmas in 2003-2005. In 2007, Bastien hung up his skates and exchanged them for a whistle. He and his wife Leah and son Jett reside in Fort Worth.
