Mike Tobin has worn many hats with the Port Dover Sailors, from coach to general manager to owner. His journey began after his playing career when he was asked to get involved. Initially hesitant, Tobin quickly became immersed in the team, moving from assistant coach to head coach within two weeks. Over the years, he has played a key role in shaping the organization, now overseeing operations and ownership.
Despite a tough start to the season, the Sailors have shown resilience. After losing key staff members, the team struggled early but has improved significantly. While last season saw multiple blowout losses, this year they have kept games close, with many decided by a single goal. Attendance has also grown, and community support remains strong, with sponsorship reaching new heights.
Tobin believes a strong organization is the key to long-term success. Volunteers and sponsors are crucial, and the team is always looking for support. Those interested can contact the Sailors through their website. His dedication ensures junior hockey remains strong in Port Dover.
