If you have never been to one of our tournaments, you are missing out on a fan-favorite event!

🏒🥅 An important lesson to pass on as a coach… 🏒🥅
It`s for the kids!

🙌 The kids will always remember the coach who went the extra mile to help them become better players and better people.

✏️ One crucial lesson I made sure to impart was the value of learning to lose. If you always win, you never truly discover the strength within you to overcome challenges and become your absolute best.

🏒When I first stepped into coaching, my aim wasn`t to be remembered. It was to share my passion for the game and show how teamwork translates to success in all areas of life. My hope is that every player develops a deep love for hockey and continues playing well into adulthood.

🚨Being a coach has profoundly influenced the way I approach our tournaments. I understand the exhilaration of victory and the disappointment of defeat. It`s about much more than the numbers on the scoreboard.

👇 Share your experiences in the comments! Let us know how a coach positively impacted your life or, if you`re a coach yourself, tell us your favorite thing about coaching. Together, let`s celebrate the mentors who shape our journeys on and off the ice.

🏒 Yours in Hockey
Brian & Whitney
