Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te mea ko ia te kaiwhakahaere matua o Oshawa Generals, i akiaki a Bassin kia tonoa e nga kapa o te Canadian Hockey League a raatau kaitakaro pai ki te hanga i tetahi Team Canada pono. I noho ia hei kaiāwhina kaiako me te kaiāwhina kaiwhakahaere matua o te kapa rangatahi a motu mai i te 1982 ki te 1985. I te wā i riro ai i a Kanata tana mētara koura rangatahi tuatahi i te 1982 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships i Minnesota, ka tū ngā kaitākaro i te raina kikorangi, ka waiata i a O Canada, i te wā kāore he himene motu. I awhina a Bassin i a Kanata ki te wikitoria i te parahi i te 1983 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, te tuawha i te
1984 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, me te mētara koura tuarua i te 1985 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.
