My passion for hockey began while playing for the Chinguacousy Minor Hockey Association in Bramalea, Ontario. I went on to play 2 seasons with the Brampton Capitals of the Central Ontario Junior A Hockey League. After gaining my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, I was able to embark on a near 30 year career working in sports which began in 1996 with my hometown Brampton Battalion of the Ontario Hockey League. From there, I spent the next 18 years working with the Toronto Blue Jays in various capacities including VP of Florida Operations, General Manager of the Dunedin Blue Jays, and VP of Ticket Sales & Service. I am currently employed with Golf Canada working on the RBC Canadian Open (PGA Tour), and the CPKC Women's Open (LPGA TOUR). I've had the pleasure of being a volunteer Coach with various sports groups in Oakville since 2010, including the last 5 seasons as a non parent Coach.
Everything I have in life is due to the game of hockey. The friendships I gained as a young player, were the catalyst to the success I've enjoyed in life. Hockey is my passion, I owe the game, and have enjoyed "paying it back" as a Coach.
We are a deeply committed group of coaches, players, and families who value team success above all else. Players are expected to follow specific routines while at the rink, as a means to develop healthy habits that lead to productive games and practices. We endeavor to play an up tempo, high intensity, brand of hockey that is rooted in core "pillars" that help drive our team identity.
Our current U12 AA Red team has enjoyed a tremendously successful season on and off the ice, largely driven from developing a culture of trust and mutual respect for Players, Coaches, and Parents. The U13 AA Red Rangers will be looking to supplement our core with size, speed, and strength. A major emphasis will be placed on players who demonstrate a passion for the game, are very competitive, and relentless in everything they do on the ice. Defensemen who prioritize defending while excelling in 1 on 1 battles, will also be sought after.
