| Coach Tim Ford with his family (and the State Championship plaque!) |
Ford is no stranger to the Bulldog bench as he has served as a top assistant to Coach Shuman since 2014- contributing greatly to this period of unparalleled success for the program. His first visit to the Green and White's bench came as a player under Shuman where he learned what it really meant to be a part of the Bulldog Hockey family.
Ford now resides in Canton with his wife Jenn and two sons- Owen and Hayes. He works for the Canton Parks and Recreation Department where he is involved in managing the Ponkapoag Rink.
Ford had this to say upon his appointment-
"It is an incredible honor to lead a program that has meant so much to me. I'm grateful for the opportunity to build on the tradition Coach Shuman and our staff established while helping our players grow as teammates, competitors, and young men. I am excited for what lies ahead for Canton Hockey. I'm Excited to lead the next generation of Bulldogs while honoring the programs proud history.”
CHS Athletic Director Danny Erickson stated-
"We are really thrilled to have Timmy take the top spot in our boys hockey coaching staff. He is more than up for the job. He told us early in the interview process that this was his "dream job." It was clear throughout the entire process that was a genuine statement. It is easy to see that he is passionate about developing student athletes both on and off the ice. He is not looking to 'fill the shoes' of Coach Shuman. He is looking to forge his own path while maintaining the program's values. He is going to do a wonderful job.
