In addition to serving as the Canadian National Team head coach for the 2014 World Championship, Mearns was an assistant coach at both the 2006 and 2010 championships with the 2006 squad winning the goal medal. Mearns, who earned induction into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2013 and the Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2008, helped Canada to its first gold-medal finish in 28 years during the 2006 run before leading the team to silver in 2010 and gold once again in 2014.

Playing Career After helping the Canadian Junior National Team to a silver medal in the 1988 World Championships, Mearns was part of the first Canisius College recruiting class in 1989. Under former head coach Ed Van Tine, Mearns thrived offensively during his three-year stay and currently ranks second in career scoring with 190 points. He still holds the single-season records for points (94) and assists (49) and is the Griffs’ all-time leader in assists (95). Upon graduating cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in finance, Mearns was drafted by the in the 1992 entry draft and was a member of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League World Champion Bandits team in 1993. Mearns joined the in 1995. As their team captain, he lead the Knighthawks to four championship appearances (’96, ’97, ’99, and ’00) during his seven-year tenure and raised the Champions Cup with a 1997 victory over his former team, the Buffalo Bandits. Mearns earned induction into the Rochester Knighthawks Hall of Fame in 2010, joining Jody Gage and Paul Gait in the franchise’s second class. In the summer of 2001, the 1999 NLL All-Star Game MVP was picked up by the Calgary Roughnecks in the National Lacrosse League expansion draft and was immediately traded back to the Bandits. The 2002 season saw Mearns have his best offensive output in his nine-year career, scoring 14 goals and dishing out 24 assists for 38 points. Balancing out the winter and spring months while at Canisius and playing professionally, Mearns played in the Canadian Junior A and Canadian Senior A Lacrosse Leagues. During a 10-year stint beginning in 1990, Mearns appeared in eight National Championships, five of them as team captain. Of these eight appearances, Mearns and his teammates were crowned champions six times. They include the 1990 Champion St. Catharines Athletics, the Champion Brampton Excelsiors (’92, ’93) and the Mann Cup Champion Six Nation Chiefs (’94, ‘95’ ’96). CANISIUS (1-7, 1-1 MAAC) VS.
