Anything else you would like to share about yourself?
Over my coaching career I've been lucky to work under/ with some fantastic coaches that I've been fortunate to learn a lot from. We have had success at various ages and levels, most notably 4 Alliance Championships as an assistant coach with the '98, '99 and '00 born U16 Waterloo AAA teams and the '00 U15 Waterloo AAA team, and a Alliance Co-Championship (COVID year) as Head Coach with the '06 born U14 Waterloo AAA team. I have been lucky enough to coach dozens of players that have gone on to play various levels of Junior, college and pro hockey.
🏒 Game Over, Coach’s Call!
