A New Chapter at Doiron Sports Excellence – Growth, Leadership & a Big Thank You to Terry Pyne
There’s so much to talk about, but before anything else, I need to take a moment to recognize two incredible people: Terry Pyne, a cornerstone of our business for over 20 years, and Jason Webb, our new General Manager, who is bringing leadership, vision, and stability to help us keep growing.
Honoring Terry Pyne – Two Decades of Dedication
For over 20 years, Terry Pyne has been more than just a part of Doiron Sports Excellence—he’s been the heart of it.
Earlier this year, Terry decided to retire, and while we were happy for him, we knew he would be missed. But as it turns out, retirement didn’t last long!
We’re beyond grateful that Terry has decided to return three days a week to continue doing what he does best—helping athletes, teams, and families get the gear they need with the level of service and knowledge that only he can provide.
Terry, we can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done, and we’re thrilled to have you still with us as we take on this next chapter.
Welcome Jason Webb – Looking Forward to the Future
With all the changes happening, Doiron Sports Excellence needed strong leadership to keep moving forward and to build a foundation for long-term success. That’s why I’m beyond excited to welcome Jason Webb as our new General Manager.
Jason brings a level of focus, strategy, and leadership that will help us grow in the right direction while staying true to what makes this store special. His analytical approach means we’re making smart, informed decisions about how we operate, ensuring that Doiron Sports Excellence remains a stable, thriving business for years to come.
But Jason isn’t just about numbers and strategy—he understands that Doiron Sports Excellence is more than just a store. It’s something special!
Doiron Sports Excellence will be Open at the QPlex in April – No More Harbour Bridge Traffic!
Big news! We’ve officially moving to the QPlex in April! Let’s be honest—if you’ve ever made a last-minute dash across the Harbour Bridge for Howies Hockey Tape, Zippy's Wax, or Bauer Mystery Mini Sticks, you know the struggle. Between traffic backups, construction detours, and that one person driving 40 in the fast lane, Its enough to test even the calmest hockey parents patience.
So, we thought: why not bring the gear to where the game actually happens?
The QPlex is the heartbeat of local sports. It’s where teams practice, where tournaments bring out the best competition, and where families spend countless hours watching their kids play the game they love. And now, it’s where you’ll find Doiron Sports Excellence, right in the middle of it all.
A Personal Thank You
As we take this next step with Doiron Sports Excellence at the QPlex, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has been part of this journey.
First and foremost, thank you to our incredible customers and community. Your support, loyalty, and passion for local sports and community are what drive us every single day. We appreciate you more than words can say.
Saint John has an unbelievable sports community. It’s made up of dedicated parents, passionate athletes, hardworking coaches, and fans who show up rain or shine. The way this community comes together to support local teams, tournaments, and businesses is something special, and I feel truly lucky to be a part of it.
I also want to send a massive thank you to our incredible team. The team at Doiron Sports Excellence has stepped up in ways I never could have imagined, and I couldn’t be more proud of them. This move, this new beginning—it’s not just about me, it’s about us.
The last few months have been a whirlwind, and I’ll be honest—I’ve learned a lot. I’ve realized that I can’t do it all, and I don’t have to. When you give people the opportunity to lead, amazing things happen. Our team has shown incredible dedication, commitment, and passion, and I know that with them leading the way, we’re stronger than ever.
This is just the beginning. I’m excited for what’s ahead, I’m grateful for every single one of you, and I can’t wait to keep growing, improving, and serving our community for years to come.
Thank you for being part of Doiron Sports Excellence.
See you at the QPlex!
– Marc Doiron
