Coventry Oakers' Head Coach Signs Contract Extension Through 2029

Coventry Oakers head coach, John Smith, has signed a contract extension through the 2029 season. The move comes after back-to-back playoff runs for the Div II program, which finished with a 9-3 record in 2024 and 8-4 in 2025. The contract extension is expected to boost recruiting efforts, as top prospects often seek out stability and continuity in their coaching staff. The Oakers' recent success has also increased competition for local talent, with neighboring programs taking notice of Coventry's resurgence. With the extension in place, Smith will look to build on the program's momentum and make a deep playoff run in the near future. The Oakers will enter the 2026 season with high expectations and a renewed sense of purpose.
