A certified NCCP baseball and fastball coach, Perry coached the Queen’s men’s baseball team for eight years. In the position of head coach he led the men’s team to two Ontario Conference Championships, one silver medal at the Nationals, and a first-ever national championship title sanctioned by the Canadian Intercollegiate Baseball Association.

He also devoted ten years as a Rep Fastball coach in Kingston Township. Away from baseball he has served as a club/scout leader with Scouts Canada for many years, and sat on numerous school and community committees. According to Coach Conrad, the most important thing about his time coaching at Queen's was the fact that it was a family affair. His wife Jackie (Statistician and Den Mother) traveled with the team and was the scorekeeper for almost every game. After the games she would spend many late night hours compiling and submitting team stats. In the early years she would pack a cooler of snacks to make sure the players had something to eat between games. Throughout his years coaching, Jackie was the one that kept the house running smoothly while he was off coaching or attending coaching clinics, and according to Perry, most likely deserves this recognition as much as he does.
