supported by Jennifer Fleming
The Manitoba Foundation for Sports scholarship program, administrated by Sport Manitoba, was established in 1992 to
support young athletes of Sport Manitoba partners, who continue to participate in amateur sport while pursuing a post-
secondary education on a full time basis.
The Manitoba Foundation for Sports is pleased to be administering for the second time, the Fleming Family Hockey Coach
Scholarship. The scholarship is supported by Jennifer Fleming, in memory of her father Jake Fleming and her brother Wayne
Fleming, to recognize an upcoming Manitoba hockey coach who demonstrates similar coaching and leadership traits that were
characteristic of both Jake and Wayne.
Wayne began his organized hockey career at the age of 13 with the CUAC Community Club. This was the beginning of the
Fleming family’s obsession with hockey which lead to the formation of the Canadian Professional Hockey Schools in 1966.
Jake operated the CPHS until 1991. Today CPHS continues under the ownership of Steve Briere, goalie coach with the
Toronto Maple Leafs. In the 1970’s Jake was very instrumental in getting the AAA tier system sanctioned in Winnipeg. In the
meantime Wayne’s love of coaching germinated with CPHS and, through his dedication, passion and hard work, eventually
turned into gold. Wayne held CHA Advanced II Certification.
Wayne joined the University of Manitoba Bisons as a defenseman in 1970 and then as Head Coach from 1982-1990 – winning
Conference Coach of the Year twice and Canadian University Coach of the Year in 1984-85. During his Bison years, Wayne
assisted with numerous national teams representing Canada at world events. He joined Hockey Canada in 1990 and helped
coach Canada to a silver medal at the 1992 Olympics; after which he ventured overseas to coach in Sweden, Switzerland and
Germany. In 1997, he returned to North America for his first NHL position as an assistant coach with the New York Islanders
and then the Phoenix Coyotes. Wayne was then lured back to Team Canada to join Wayne Gretzky, Pat Quinn and Ken
Hitchcock in preparation for the 2002 Olympics. In addition to his coaching roles, he also served as Vice-President of
Operations for Team Canada and was recognized as the glue of the 2002 Olympics Gold Medal team.
Following the Olympics, Wayne joined Ken Hitchcock and the Philadelphia Flyers, going all the way to the 2004 Stanley Cup
finals. After seasons with the Calgary Flames, Avangard of the KHL, and the Edmonton Oilers, Wayne joined the Tampa Bay
Lightning in 2010. As Tampa was entering the play-offs in April 2011, Wayne was diagnosed with brain cancer, bringing his
coaching career to a very abrupt and tragic end. Upon winning the 2012 NHL Coach of the Year Award, Ken Hitchcock
dedicated it to Wayne, saying “If you look at a dictionary of what a coach is, Flemmer’s name should be beside it. He’s a
teacher, a motivator. He’s everything. For a lot of us who’ve worked with Flemmer, he’s set a very high standard”. A great
honour was also bestowed upon Wayne in February 2013 as an inductee into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame. Wayne
passed peacefully on March 25, 2013 and Jake on August 20, 2016.
“You grind. You scrap. You work. You do not give in when the pressure builds. You do not worry what the odds are.” - WF
