Coaching Philosophy:

Attitude Effort Resiliency

“Attitude is the difference between ordeal and adventure,”

There are only 2 things a player can control in the game. The first is their Attitude. You can’t control the bounces on the ice or what the refs will/won’t call, but you can control your Attitude. A positive Attitude will ensure that you are ready for and able to adapt to whatever happens in the game. In addition, a positive Attitude is contagious and spreads to the rest of the team. The second item is the Player's Effort level. If every Player gives their maximum Effort, we will be a tough team to play against and will have success on the ice. Throughout a hockey game, there are moments where bounces won't go our way. Our ability to push through these challenges by maintaining a Positive Attitude and giving Maximum Effort will best position us to be successful and help build Resiliency. These are all values that will serve the players in their lives as they grow into young men!×
