Vancouver Canucks Enhance Player Development Program with Addition of Daren Hermiston
The Vancouver Canucks are making moves this week, with the latest addition being player agent Daren Hermiston. According to reports, Hermiston will take on a player development role within the organization. He currently represents six clients, including Canucks winger Arshdeep Bains, who switched agents in 2024 to work with Hermiston. Hermiston is part of The Team, formerly known as Wasserman Hockey, which is the third-largest agency in hockey and represents top NHL players like Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews.
Hermiston, a native of Kamloops, B.C., has a background as a former goalie who played for the BCHL's Vernon Vipers in 2005-06. He has been working as a player agent since 2009 for Point West Sports and Entertainment Inc., which was acquired by Wasserman Hockey in 2021. With his new role in player development and player performance for the Canucks, Hermiston will bring his expertise and experience to help develop the team's talent.
The addition of Daren Hermiston to the Vancouver Canucks' front office is another step in the team's efforts to strengthen its player development program. With his background as a player agent and experience working with top NHL talent, Hermiston is well-equipped to contribute to the growth and success of the Canucks' players. His role will be crucial in helping the team's prospects reach their full potential and make an impact at the NHL level.
