While the workload is high, Sault Ste. Marie's Jason Fortier is thoroughly enjoying coaching at the University of Maine
For Sault Ste. Marie’s Jason Fortier, working in the United States isn’t new, but working at the top level of American college hockey is. For the 46-year-old Sault product, an opportunity to join the coaching staff at the University of Maine was one he couldn’t pass up.
“Just the Visa component of it, I had to do it in Odessa, it’s the exact same Visa I did for Odessa, it’s pretty serious,” Fortier said. “College is very intense when it comes to work,” Fortier said. “There’s not a lot of relaxation. When you’re recruiting, you’re doing a lot of stuff. Everyone’s trying to figure out who all the players are so when you get home at night, you’re watching video.” When the opportunity arose to join the Maine staff, Fortier said “it was a pretty easy decision.”
Over the years, Fortier said he’s learned a lot along the way from the coaches he’s played for as well as coached with.
