Sarnia Sting Assistant Coach Jeff Barratt is moving up to the National Hockey League.
He's accepted a role as amateur scout with the Boston Bruins.
Barratt has served as an assistant coach with the Sarnia Sting for the past three seasons after joining Head Coach Derian Hatcher behind the bench in 2015.
Before his time with the Sting, the Lachine, Quebec native played four seasons in the QMJHL, representing the Jr. Canadiens and the Laval Voisins from 1978-1982.
Barratt spent the better part of 20 years operating and coaching the Mercer Chiefs ‘AAA’ program. While doing so, he worked as a consultant and director of scouting for the USHL’s Cedar Rapids Roughriders. During his time with Cedar Rapids, Barratt saw 14 former Roughriders play in the NHL.
From 2011-2015, Barratt served as a head coach for the Little Flyers (Jr. B). Additionally, from 2012-2015, he worked alongside Derian Hatcher as an assistant coach for the Team Comcast (AAA) Midget Team.
