The hire fills the vacancy left by previous Leafs/Marlies video coach Ryan Ward, who returned to the Soo Greyhounds in an assistant coaching role this offseason.
Bean has an impressive resume for an individual still in his early 20s. A graduate of the sport management program at Brock – just like assistant GM Kyle Dubas — Bean has worked for two OHL organizations (Guelph and Kitchener) as well as Hockey Canada while also working as a video analyst for Stathletes, the sports data-tracking company that garnered mainstream attention after the hiring of co-founder John Chayka by the Arizona Coyotes as their new GM.
