If You’ve Been to a Tides Match, You’ve Seen Him on the Sidelines — Meet Goalkeeper Coach Mark Haynes

Four games into the season, chances are you’ve already spotted Mark Haynes doing what he does best: helping our Tides goalkeepers stay sharp, confident, and ready for matchday.

Mark brings years of high-level playing and coaching experience to the Halifax Tides. As a goalkeeper, he played for programs like Fanshawe College, AEK London, FC London (2012 USL-PDL North American Champions), KW United, and London Marconi, where he helped win back-to-back Canadian National Championships.

But it’s not just about what he’s done on the pitch– it’s about how he helps others succeed on it. Mark is the founder and director of London Elite Goalkeeping, and for over a decade, he’s coached at every level. From youth academies to university teams like Western University (11 seasons with the women's program, 7 seasons with the men's program) and Fanshawe College (3 seasons), he holds multiple certifications, including Ontario Soccer and United Soccer Coaches Goalkeeping Diplomas, Canada Soccer Diplomas.

Since joining the Tides, Mark’s focus has been clear: support our goalkeepers with the tools, technique, and trust they need to excel. His style is calm, collaborative, and fully aligned with the club’s approach.

We’re proud to have Mark as part of the coaching staff this season. His dedication is clear every time our goalkeepers step on the pitch and the growth in our keepers is proof that great things are coming.
