Thank You Coach John Watkins!

Jr. Men’s coach John Watkins is taking a step back from his role with the club. After nearly 5 seasons with the Junior Program that saw numerous medals and impressive results from ORC Junior Men’s Crews, coach John will be turning his energy towards his family, his work, and other projects that have been awaiting his attention. His low stress, even-keeled demeanor,  friendly persona, and charming accent will be missed by all. Thank you coach John on behalf of the Junior Men and the entire club!

Jr. Men’s Coach Wanted!

With the departure of coach John Watkins, the Jr. Men’s program will be looking for a new fearless leader over the winter and as they approach the spring 2023 season.

If you might be interested in helping out with the Jr. Program, or know of someone who might be interested, please contact Head Coach Zak at zak@ottawrowingclub.com
