Brent Honcharuk grew up just east of Toronto in Pickering, Ontario, where he played his minor hockey career with the Pickering Panthers. He continued playing hockey throughout his college years and thereafter recreationally. His coaching career began with the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA) Richmond Hill Coyotes U16 2003 AAA team, where he started as a trainer and evolved into an assistant coach. The following season, he worked as an assistant coach with the U13 2007 birth year team. During this time, Brent was also involved with the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association (OWHA) as the Director of Development for the Oshawa Lady Generals.

Brent continues to coach and dedicates significant time to developing future and current coaches as a Development 1 instructor and field evaluator. He holds countless qualifications for skill-building in hockey and sports in general. In the off-season, Brent assists the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL) with on-ice instruction and development for various age groups and skill levels. He also collaborates with the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF), the governing body of all hockey associations in Ontario, on their Program of Excellence workshops and skills development sessions. Throughout the summer, he assists in coaching many AAA, OJHL, OHL, AHL, and other leagues, interacting with a wide range of athletes across different birth years. Brent’s extensive hockey network allows him to accurately assess the talents and abilities of athletes across Canada. He prides himself not only on identifying superior skill but also on developing relationships to ensure that athletes’ character aligns with the high expectations required by the Wolves. Brent will continue scouting talent throughout Canada and work closely with the Wolves staff to ensure the best roster of athletes is available to the program.
