Larry Bumstead’s ultimate goal is to give each player the opportunity to fully develop to go to the next level.  After a long and successful playing career at numerous levels including professional hockey leagues in Scotland and Holland, senior hockey in Manitoba with the St. Boniface Mohawks, university hockey with the Manitoba Bisons and junior hockey with New Westminister, Brandon and Kamloops of the Western Hockey League, Larry’s passion for the game of hockey naturally led him to the game’s coaching ranks.  Larry is a Hockey Canada certified coach with nearly 25 years of hockey development and coaching experience at many levels within minor hockey.  He has enjoyed a close working relationship with many provincial Junior and North American Junior A hockey clubs during their evaluation and regular seasons.  He is currently assistant coach for the University of Manitoba Bison Men’s hockey team.

Larry founded Northwestern Hockey Sports Camp in 1987.  As the director of Northwestern Hockey Sports Camp, Larry expanded the company to include sister company Northwestern Hockey Outreach Camp in 2004.  In addition to his off-season summer camps, Larry developed a highly successful in-season winter hockey academy program in 2006 that has since been offered to hundreds of players. Nine years ago, Larry created the Boys of the North Prospects Camp for many elite players from throughout North America to attend the camp and showcase their talents for numerous Canadian and American Junior A teams. Each spring, Larry also assembles and coaches the Boys of the North and the Girls of the North teams to further their development through a structured program of on-ice skills and off-ice conditioning that culminate in elite hockey tournaments such as the Prospects Tournament in Toronto. As a direct result of his mentorship and programs, Larry has proudly watched many of his young players go on to realize their own hockey goals at the highest levels.

Larry continues to remember and respect his roots in the hockey world and regularly returns to Northwestern Ontario to offer development opportunities to the players throughout the region.  Larry has a great love for the outdoors and is an avid fisherman. While at his annual camp in Ignace, Ont., Larry shares this passion with the many guests of Northwestern Hockey Sports Camp – “the Experience of a Lifetime”. During Winnipeg winters, when he is not coaching or running a camp, Larry and wife Kathy spend their time as many Winnipeg hockey parents do - by transporting to and supporting and cheering their three children at various rinks around the city.                  
 Larry is pleased to join with the True North Sports and Entertainment Group and the Manitoba Moose to become the Director of Hockey Development at their new MTS Iceplex facility where he will be able to work with players of all abilites to help them get to the next level.
