Jordan enters his fourth season as Associate Coach of the Greyhounds in the 2021-22 season after being hired on July 19, 2018.

The 35-year old Sault Ste. Marie product joined the Greyhound after holding the same position previously (2017-18) with the Sudbury Wolves.

Prior to his work in the Ontario Hockey League, Smith began his coaching career with the Thunder Bay North Stars of the SIJHL (2012-13) before spending four seasons (2013-14 to 2016-17) with the Soo Thunderbirds of the NOJHL.

With the Thunderbirds, Smith led the club to four consecutive West Division titles while accumulating an overall win-loss record of 176-29-10-3 and leading them to the 2015 Dudley Hewitt Cup (Central Canadian Championship).

As a player, Smith played his entire major junior career on the blueline of the Greyhounds from 2001-02 to 2004-05.

After being selected in the 2nd Round (39th overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, Jordan would play two seasons in the American Hockey League before his professional career was cut short due to injury. He would finish playing as a member of the OUA Lakehead University Thunderwolves.
