He started his junior coaching career with the 1998 Thornhill Rattlers of the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League. Within two years the team won the Dudley Hewitt Cup as Central Canadian Junior "A" Champions. In 2006–07, as the coach of the Aurora Tigers, he led the team to the Dudley Hewitt Cup, and then later won the Royal Bank Cup 2007 as National Junior "A" Champions.

When Dupont played in the United States he was given the nickname Jerry, simply because Jerome wasn't a common name among his American teammates.
