He is excited to join the Hockey Academy at Dr. Brass School! He looks forward to the learning, development, and growth of every individual in the program, both on and off the ice. His passion and goal for the hockey academy is built around creating a positive, hardworking, and supportive environment where every student-athlete has the opportunity to improve their skills, build confidence, and develop a strong passion for the game of hockey. As a teacher and coach, his goal is to help each player grow not only as an athlete, but also as a teammate, student, and leader. He will focus on effort, respect, accountability, teamwork, and maintaining a positive attitude every day. Success will be measured by improvement, character, and the habits we build together throughout the year. Players will be encouraged to compete, challenge themselves, support one another, and enjoy the process of development. He believes that when athletes feel supported, motivated, and confident, they perform at their best while helping create a strong team culture.
