The Collingwood Blues have extended Associate Coach Connor Cadaret through the 2025-2026 season. Connor joined the Blues this summer after serving as an Assistant Coach with the Bonnyville Pontiacs in the AJHL. “Connor has made an immediate impact since arriving in Collingwood, he quickly built trust with our players and other staff in the organization. He has a strong ability to read the game, manage our defensemen and helps Andrew make adjustments as needed. Connor also has a strong sense of player development and coordinates our skill skates daily, as well as our Blues Hockey Development classes and camps. The Blues feel strongly about the value that Connor brings and are excited to have him extended to continue with us for this year and beyond.” Commented General Manager Mike Tarantino
“Connor has been a great addition to our staff and has fit in seamlessly. His dedication to the game and our team have been on full display since day one. He sees the game and understands what it takes to get us to the next level and is always willing to try something new. I’ve had the opportunity to know Connor for the last four years and I couldn’t be happier that we get to work together for at least two more!” Andrew Campoli Blues Head Coach
“Since arriving in Collingwood I have been extremely impressed with the level of professionalism, dedication and passion from the staff and players in this organization. The high character of our players has shown in their respect towards me and willingness to work to get better. I am very grateful to be able to work with a Head Coach like Andrew, who has trusted me with many responsibilities and is constantly making me a better coach and person. Thank you to Dave Steele, Mike Tarantino and the entire Collingwood Blues organization for allowing me the opportunity to be part of the future!” Connor Cadaret Blues Associate Coach
