He has always strived to develop the skills and abilities of every individual player to create a team-first focused environment.

About BB Hockey  
BB hockey is different from other competitive divisions as body checking is not permitted. The game itself changes as a result; clutching, grinding and hitting normally found in hockey is removed from the game. The game opens up and often has a faster pace. Players who make this team will need to skate hard and make quick, smart decisions, in order to be successful.  

Mission Statement  
The purpose of the U16 BB team is to provide quality leadership and coaching to develop the understanding of teamwork and sportsmanship in a competitive atmosphere with positive reinforcement for all players. Players will instill BMHA’s core values of community spirit, fellowship, team play; promote determination, hard work, and positive life skills; and to foster community volunteerism.×

About Me  

With over 15 years of coaching experience, I’ve dedicated much of my life to the game I love. Born and raised in Barrie, I proudly played for the BMHA until the age of 17 and later contributed as a referee within the same organization.  

Throughout my coaching career, I’ve had the privilege of leading teams from U9 through U14, reaching the OMHAs every single year, a testament to the consistent effort and development of the players and coaches that I’ve worked with. Highlights include winning the OMHA Red Hat Finals with the U12 BB team in 2023 and again with the U14 BB team in 2025.    

Coaching Philosophy  

My goal as a coach goes beyond wins and standings, I’m here to help shape confident, disciplined, and resilient young athletes who carry those traits with them both on and off the ice.  

I believe in building a team culture rooted in accountability, respect, and relentless effort. Every player brings value to the team, and every role is vital to our success.  

I focus heavily on strong fundamentals, hockey IQ, and team-first play, creating a structured environment that still allows for creativity and smart decision-making. My coaching style is high-energy and purposeful; designed to challenge players while fostering a deep love for the game.  

Play hard. Play smart. Earn every shift. That’s our standard, and that’s how we grow, together.×
