Favourite hockey quote
Fore-check, Back check, Paycheck. I have tried to get my players to use this as a pre-game cheer, but I was shot down immediately. They didn’t like it as much as I do
Cool tip for players
Always be in a ready-position on the ice – knees slightly bent, stick on the ice, head up. The extra second that it takes to get ready is the difference between making a play and not.

Cool tip for players
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Give your all and try your hardest each shift. That’s in my opinion the quickest way to develop.

What do you enjoy most about coaching?
We tend to rotate the Captains and Assistants each week. We ask the Captain to give a ‘pre-game’ speech before the game. I really enjoy watching them give their speech as they lead their team.

Cool tip for players
Balance your stick on one finger. Wrap a piece of tape around your stick at that balance point. That’s where your bottom hand should slide to when taking a slap shot.
