These are the guys who make it happen at the rink and behind the scenes. What makes us good at what we do? Like any successful team, our coaching staff is always aiming to improve and would do anything for one another.
Meet the Team
Barry O’Neil
Founder - On Ice Director
Barry is a local to Cape Cod growing up playing Falmouth Youth Hockey and eventually finishing his playing days at Nichols College where he was part of two conference championships and two NCAA tournament appearances.
Now as a full time coach & owner of CCH he works with players from the youth level up through the NHL and is excited to train any player regardless of their age or ability.
Hockey has been his life since he was a kid and loves being at the rink more than anything else in the world.
“My favorite part about coaching is knowing you’ve made a positive impact on a players day. It’s a great feeling to see players genuinely excited to come to the rink and skate with us.”
-Barry
Chris Harlow
On Ice Coach
Coach Harlow has been with CCH since day 1! Playing at the University of New England, Chris was a part of one of the most successful NCAA D3 programs in the country. After growing up in the Boston area Chris moved to the Cape and has been coaching with us ever since. Coach Harlow wants the players on ice with him to leave each skate having learned something important that will help elevate their game.
“To me there is nothing that I enjoy more than being on the ice. As a coach, I am constantly looking for ways that I can improve myself along with my peers and the players that I coach.”
-Chris Harlow
Sean Leonard
On Ice Coach
Coach Sean has been with CCH for 5 years and truly makes an impact on every player and coach he meets. You may know him as the “Not a problem guy” and hear him saying the same 3 words over and over again “How ya doin”. The New Yorker has been summering on the Cape and training with us since we met him back in 2019. After graduating from college Sean went on to play in the ECHL & SPHL for teams all over the United States. He is no stranger to hard work and having to earn what you get. He has one of the most impressive work ethics around and is incredibly appreciative & thankful for all that he’s earned over the years.
“I coach to give back to the game that has given me everything. The sport is taught me more about life then anything else. It’s only right to try and help the next generation”
- Sean Leonard
Kevin McKernan
On Ice Coach
Coach Kev’s playing career took him all over the US. Playing his youth hockey for the Junior Bruins here in MA and his NCAA years for Quinnipiac where he was an assistant captain and made a frozen four appearance. He ended his career as the Captain of Iowa in the ECHL. Kevin is well respected by his peers and brings a lot of hockey knowledge to the CCH staff!
Kevin recently became father to Hayes McKernan who isn’t old enough to skate yet but we can tell will be a smooth skating, puck moving defenseman like his dad!
Zach Ledogar
Off Ice Development Coach
Strength, Conditioning, & Injury Prevention
Coach Zach has been our off ice coach and head gym trainer for 6 years. Every single player who comes through CCH knows him as one of the best guys around! Zach cares for his athletes like they are his own children even though he has one of his own at home named Gavin, with a baby girl on the way!
Anyone can learn how to teach proper exercise mechanics, programming, and everything that goes along with being a trainer. What Zach has that others don’t is his level of care and attention to each player. We are blessed to have him on the team and can’t thank him enough for all he does on and off the ice at CCH!
Blue Fancy
On Ice Coach
Coach Blue is a local to Cape Cod, growing up playing for the Storm in Falmouth before advancing to the North American Hockey Academy. She played NCAA Division 1 for St. Anselms College.
Blue is not only an elite hockey mind for her age, but she is an incredible person. The girls of Cape Cod are very lucky to have her around! Can’t say enough good things about his young women and we look forward to having her help the girls here on Cape for years to come!
Jacob Maynard
Coach Jake is an Indiana boy who found his way to Cape Cod through his teammates at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Jake was the Captain of UMD and lead by example every day on and off the ice. He helped lead his team to the most sucessful season they had seen in years.
After graduating with a Masters Degree, Jake went on the play in the SPHL for Quad City where he aims to return to in the fall of 2024. On top of coaching the kids of Cape Cod Hockey this summer he will be training with our Pro and College group to get ready for the upcoming season.
