Eileen Duffin
Housing and Education Coordinator
Eileen Duffin, or ‘Mrs. D’ as she is known to the players, is the Housing and Education Coordinator with the 6’7s. She has been an academic advisor with the 67’s since the 2001-12 season and has also been the billet coordinator since 2014.
Duffin has spent more than 30 years as a high school teacher and has been a department head in Quebec and in Germany. She has spent the last 20 years at the Canterbury High School in Ottawa. She has also been a swim coach for 35 years.
It’s her orchestration behind the scenes that ensures players are comfortable with their billet families and, importantly, the players have their grades up to snuff. She loves hockey and working with the players and firmly believes that education opens door to a successful future.
