PLAYER TESTIMONIALS!
"I had coach Conor with the U16AAA Waterloo Wolves in 2013-2014. Over ten years ago already! I really enjoyed my time with him because he was a great players coach who was able to connect and build relationships with his players. It was nice to have someone a part of the staff who I could talk to about not only hockey, but about life in general. Our team that year was very talented and skilled but Conor was not phased by any of this. He encouraged hard work and determination over all else and is a big reason why our team was able to have success throughout that season. I think it says a lot about a coach when as a past player you are able to re-connect after more than 10 years being coached by him. He values the relationships with his players which makes it much easier to work hard and play hard for a coach!"

"I’m Andy Reist, I’m currently playing NCAA Division 1 hockey at Niagara University. I grew up playing minor hockey in Waterloo and had Conor McCreary as a head coach for multiple years. I loved playing for Conor and have nothing but good things to say about him. He knows the game so well and gets the most out of all his players. He develops everyone not only on the ice as hockey players but also off the ice as people. I’m thankful to have learned from Conor and I wouldn’t be where I am today without him! All the best with recruiting this year, I’m sure you’ll bring a great team together."

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.
