Elite Performance & Injury Centre opens Ilderton sports physiotherapy location by Richard Young The Elite Performance & Injury Centre (EPIC) opened its new location in Ilderton in October 2024 with plans to open a new, much larger facility located just outside of London on Gideon Drive in Middlesex Centre in the future. Located in the former CIBC Bank building, the Ilderton centre offers physiotherapy services with Sports Physiotherapists Doug Stacey and Nathan Cory each weekday.
Doug has over a twenty-year history working with Hockey Canada, where he won Gold with the Canadian Women’s Hockey Team at the 2002, 2006, and 2010 Olympic Winter Games and the 2001 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Women’s Championship. He was a member of Canada’s National Men’s Junior Team that captured Gold at the IIHF World Junior Championship in 2005 and 2009 as well as Silver in 2011. Doug also won Gold at the Under 18 IIHF World Championship in 2003, 2009 and 2021. Most recently, he worked with Team Canada at the Spengler Cup in Davos, Switzerland in 2022, 2023 and 2024. In total, he has covered fourteen World Championships – six Gold, four Silver, three fourth place – and four Olympics, three Gold and one Bronze. Doug has also worked with the Ontario Hockey League London Knights from 2003 to 2020 (full-time 2012 to 2020) winning four OHL championships in 2005, 2012, 2013, 2016, and two Memorial Cups in 2005 and 2016. Perhaps the best promotion is a testimonial from a happy client. Andrea McCabe drove for two hours from Caledonia to see Doug in Ilderton. Andrea met Doug about twenty years ago. She was so impressed with him and his level of treatment back then. After injuring herself recently, she thought to herself, “Who is going to get me back – Doug!” Andrea had several sports injuries in the past; at one point, she could not walk due to an ankle injury. Doug was amazing at helping her get back on her feet and back to an active lifestyle. When she heard he had opened a location in Ilderton, she was happy to drive for two hours just to see him for her physiotherapy and help her with her current injury.
“The Ilderton location is perfect,” says Doug. “I’m in awe of the build- ing’s open concept, and I love the local people and rural space.” Doug brings a wealth of personal and professional knowledge and experience to EPIC. He was born into a military family, lived in several places growing up and played numerous high school sports. After graduating from the University of Ottawa in 1990, he completed another degree in Physiotherapy (1994) and a Masters Degree in Exercise Physiology (2005) at McMaster University.
