~~Stanley Cup Champion - Tampa Bay Lightning, 2004
 
Darrell Young recently completed his second season as General Manager of the QMJHL’s St. John Sea Dogs. He arrived in New Brunswick with a wealth of hockey experience.
 
Young spent 24 years as an National Hockey League scout, working with the Washington Capitals, Nashville Predators, Tampa bay Lightning and the Vancouver Canucks.
 
While with the Lightning Darrell was part of the team that won the Presidents Cup (best regular season record in NHL) , two Southeast Division Titles, the Prince of Wales Trophy (Eastern Champions) and the 2004 Stanley Cup. During his time with the Canucks, the team won four Northwest Division Titles, the Campbell Bowl (2011 Western Conference Champions) and advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2011.

In 1985 Darrell began his 13 year coaching career at Dalhousie University where he played from 1977-79. During his time at Dalhousie, the Halifax native became the team’s all-time winningest coach. His clubs were consistently ranked amongst the top in CIS Hockey, winning four Kelly Division titles, two AUHC regular season titles, three Lobster Pot Tournaments and appeared in the league final twice and CIAU regional final in Toronto in his first year. In 1990, Young served as co-coach of the AUHC all-star team that played the Canadian Olympic Team. The CIAU and Hockey Canada selected Young to lead Team Canada at the inaugural World University Hockey Championships in Detroit in 1997 where Canada defeated Team USA 5-4 in overtime.

Darrell has also served as a guest coach with the Canadian National Team prior to the 1992 Albertville Olympics and the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics. Between working with Nashville and Tampa Bay, Darrell served as the Director of Hockey Operations for two years for the Moncton Wildcats of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. During his two years in Moncton, several players were either drafted by NHL teams or went on to play in the NHL including Steve Bernier, Patrick Thoreson, PA Parenateau and Corey Crawford.

While at Dalhousie University, Young had the opportunity to work with local coaches like Trevor Steinberg, Shawn MacKenzie, Frank Hubley, Gerry Gunter, Jake Grimes, Keifer House, Tom Innes, Mike Ritcey, Paddy Flynn, Brad Crossley and Tyler Naugler.
