Coaching Philosophy
Teaching hockey is about development of youth players physically and mentally. Hard work, conditioning, passion, respect, team spirit and fun are the key ingredients to learning in a healthy environment. Skill development is always a top priority while remaining focused on a sense of the game. I bring a life long experience in playing the game having started at the age of 5 in Canada, and continuing to play the game today. I am also a proud parent of a Junior A hockey player.
