Blenheim’s Todd Warriner was recently named the interim head coach of the Windsor Lancer women’s hockey program.

Warriner brings a wealth of playing, coaching and leadership experience to the role. A first-round selection in the 1992 NHL Draft, he enjoyed a 14-year professional career, appearing in more than 450 NHL games with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Tampa Bay Lightning, Phoenix Coyotes, Vancouver Canucks, Philadelphia Flyers, and Nashville Predators.

Also experienced behind the bench, Warriner most recently served as head coach in the Oberliga and DEL2 leagues in Germany from 2023-26. He was named Oberliga coach of the year in 2025 with the Tilburg Trappers, leading the team to a 32-9-3 record.

“We are excited to welcome Todd as our interim head coach of Lancer women’s hockey,” said Director of Athletics Stephanie White in a statement on the Windsor athletics website.

“His experience at the highest levels of hockey, including his skill development knowledge and his understanding of what it takes to build a successful culture will be invaluable to our student-athletes. His coaching experience, as well as his knowledge of our Lancer programs will allow him to positively impact our women’s hockey program both on and off the ice.”

Warriner is familiar with the University of Windsor, as he previously served on the Lancer men’s hockey coaching staff.

“I am really excited for the opportunity to get to work with this talented group of student-athletes and to help continue to move this program forward,” said Warriner.
