"My coaching philosophy is
simple: we train with the technical precision of a skills academy and compete
with the discipline of a championship program. Having walked the path to the
Team Ontario level myself, I am dedicated to giving my players the tools and
the mindset required to surpass their own goals. I plan on making the U12AAA
Sun County Panthers competitive and fun to watch, right from the first puck
drop."
See you at the SCP tryouts!
