Each team averages two coaches, each specializing in a certain position. Coaches are trained to use our player development model to ensure they are meeting milestone goals per season.

Not only does each team have an offensive and defensive coach, but we also have two goalie coaches and a draw/faceoff coach on our staff. We understand and value the importance of our specialized players which is why we invest so much time and effort into making sure our specialty coaches spend countless hours per season training players.
