About Jon Hutcheon

Jon Hutcheon

Director of Hockey Operations

Coach Hutcheon started at South Kent in 2018 as Head Coach to our U15 team and during his first year he led his team to an incredibly successful season, with appearances at a number of high profile tournaments, including making it to the quarterfinals of the USA Hockey National Championships. From before his time with SKSA Hutcheon brings a wealth of experience in skills development to the SKSA staff, having spent the past three years at the St. Louis Blues Prospects Camp and High End Hockey. Since 2010, he has worked with over 100 professional and 150 NCAA hockey players in a skills development setting.  

Having spent nine seasons as a coach with the Neponset Valley River Rats U18 team, Hutcheon has strong relationships in the midget and college hockey ranks throughout New England. He recruited and coached the River Rats U18 team to a USA Hockey Tier 1 National Championship and a Massachusetts State Championship in 2012-13. Hutcheon helped 33 players advance to NCAA Division I during his time as a head coach with the program. Hutcheon’s network also extends to the midwest, where he has served as a New England region scout for the Youngstown Phantoms of the United States Hockey League (USHL) for the past seven years.

We congratulate Jon on his appointment, and thank him for bringing his years of experience and dedication to this position. If you have questions, please contact Coach Hutcheon ([email protected])
