Dennis LeClair – Head Coach

Dennis brings over 14 years of coaching experience to the ASU program but has been involved with the game as a player, coach, and on-ice official for the past 40 years. From his playing days as a youth travel and high school hockey player in Maine where he was named to the All State team back in the 80’s to his extensive officiating career with USA Hockey that included a nomination to the IIHF, multiple assignments in the World Jr. Championships, and a successful career at both the collegiate and professional levels including the ECAC, ECHL, and AHL. Due to a business opportunity in 1998, Dennis and his family relocated to Arizona where he traded in his stripes for an opportunity to work on the ice with young kids and immediately became involved with the Coyotes Amateur Hockey Association program. His teams have won multiple state championships, countless tournament championships, and they have been finalist or semi-finalist in several Rocky Mountain District Championship tournaments. Dennis spent the last two seasons coaching the Jr. Coyotes U18 Tier 1 team which participated in the prestigious Tier 1 Elite League and has also been involved with the State of Arizona Player Development Camp. Dennis works in the insurance industry and lives in Scottsdale with his wife Stefani and their three children.
