BY MICHAEL HAYAKAWA mhayakawa @yrmg. com Once a member of the Stouffville Spirit, always a member. Now 42 years old, the ,Newmar- ket resident has returned for his second tour of duty with the Ontar- io Junior Hockey League club. Only this tithe, Dbnovan is the club'snewheadooach Succeeding Mark Ioslin, who was dredub’sheadcoachformelasthalf of the 2008-09 season before step- ping down in March, Donovan was officially announced Tuesday. Deséribinghisremm to Stbufi'ville as a“homeooming", Donovan is glad to be back. “I've always had a soft spot for Stouffville because I was there for so long and I enjoyed working with a lot of people there like Ken Burrows (Spirit general manager). He knows what's happening and with Ken being there it was big from my point of View,” he said. “There’s a lot of good people in the community who are gravitating back to the team.” ZeevWeIek. who owns the Spirit with David Laren, Steve Roest and Chris Tambos, is happy, too. “Most of the players that have been with us want to play collegiate hockey and Craig played for Cornell University (from 1984' to 1988 and was a fourâ€"year letter winner). “In my opinion we needed some- one who has a real structure and he's been with us before and knows what the Spirit are all about and he knows the game. He has a lot to oifer. He oozes with confidence and he’s the type of a coach you would want your son to play for,” Werek said. For the 'better part of the last three seasons, he was head coach of the Uxbridge Bruins Ir. C club.

But our challenge will be to find some defencemen who can play,” said Donovan. A team leader with Great-West Lifeco Inc. by day, Donovan just wants to give back. “I don’t have any illusions that I'll be coaching in the NHL” he said. “Someone did this for me when I went through junior A and went to Cornell.
