I’ve played hockey for 28 years and have been coaching since 1994, at every level of the game. I’ve had the privilege of coaching teams that have won major tournaments and built real pride in what they do. For me, it’s about accountability, work ethic, and results—getting kids to respond, push themselves, and compete the right way. At the end of the day, the goal is simple: make sure every player walks off the ice knowing they gave their best.
