Durham West Girls Hockey

Durham West is excited to announce the U11 Development Stream (DS) Coaching Staff for the 2025–26 season! This year, we’re proud to welcome a true Durham West legacy team — a father-and-daughter trio who have long been part of our Lightning family. John, Jordan, and Peyton Haywood have been involved with Durham West since 2003. Both Jordan and Peyton grew up in the Lightning program, playing their entire minor hockey careers with Durham West and competing at the highest levels — always supported by their dad and Head Coach, John Haywood.
