Coach Discussion: Jamie Kompon

[Gurilla]

Guy doesn't get enough recognition around here. Absolute beauty. Runs the hottest powerplay in the league.

Agree. He uses the assets he has extremely well.
Wheeler has turned into one of the leagues premier passers and Laine and Scheifele are an incredible 1-2 punch.

 

[Jets]

Wish we would've let Mo bring in all his own staff. Not just Pompom.

 

[behemolari]

hey why not let him run the whole team

 

[jetsforever]

Hard to know what specific contributions each guy has behind closed doors but you can't complain while we're at the top
Wouldn't mind getting a new goalie coach though

 

[snowkiddin]

Better than Perry Pearn, that’s for sure.

 

[sipowicz]

Really liked Kompon when he hosted the English home show called Grand Designs!

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

He did come with lots of experience.

 

[Jets4Life]

LOL

I thought I was looking at younger saddder Liam Neeson at first

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

If the Jets win the cup I think he'll likely get a head coaching job in either the NHL or AHL. But he was a big improvement for us.

A message to other coaches:

What I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

Say what you will about Kompon, but his head is only slightly wider than his neck...

Why the long face
His power play has in part turned this team around.
Our special teams were ass for years

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

I remember a couple of years ago when HFJets was crapping on Kompon for our terrible special teams, PK especially. I remember the feverish calls to fire Maurice, Huddy and Kompon like it was yesterday. To me it seemed like Maurice was overruling and running his own system, and Kompon, being special teams coach, took the heat. Maybe Laine stepped up, and Scheifele developed his wicked one-timer from the slot, but the coaches found a way to make special teams work. And it's absolutely lethal.

I have a story about Jamie Kompon that I think about quite often whenever I see him on TV.

The night the Jets were eliminated in game 5 against vegas, i was walking home from the bar I had been watching the game at. I had to walk past MTS Centre and as I was passing, on the other side of the road I saw Jamie helping this elderly homeless person up from the curb. I overheard him asking her name and where she needed to go. She said no where but needed some bus fare. I then saw Jamie roll up his sleeves, grab this woman's arm and walk her to the bus stop on Hargrave. At this point I was pretty much following them from a distance, and I saw that once they got to the bus stop, Jamie stayed beside this old woman who looked quite rough and honestly really unpleasant. He waited talking to this woman until the bus came and made sure that she got on okay, and even gave her a little bit of money as he left. He then started to walk the other way, presumably to his car.

This man had just gotten eliminated in the WCF and was probably pretty unhappy and wanted nothing more than to get home, but without even thinking twice, he put it all away to help out someone who needed it.

I think about Jamie a lot because of that, and I have such a strong appreciation for him and am so thankful that he is apart of the Jets. If I ever meet him one day I will be sure to tell him that he changed my way of thinking and he doesnt even know it.

Just wanted to share that

This is freaking amazing, thank you so much for sharing. I love hearing about stuff like this especially so close to home. Shows you how many awesome people there are in the world.

 

[Le Golie]

He’s a weapon of mass destruction.

I was sitting close to the bench at the Devils game on Dec 1. While the game was tied in the third, there was a faceoff in the neutral zone and the Lowry line was out. I saw Kompon run to Maurice and whisper something to him. Maurice whistled and got Lowry’s attention and as soon as the puck was dropped they came off the ice and the fourth line went out. Half a minute later Roslovic set up Morrissey for the 2-1 goal.
