I am honoured to be the Head Coach of the Upper Canada Cyclones U18 AAA for the 2024/2025 season. 

I bring over 18 years of coaching experience. I have been both head coach and assistant coach at the Rep B, AA, AAA, U18 and Jr B and Jr A levels. 

I have coached with such organizations as Eastern Ontario Wild, Rockland Nationals, Gatineau Flames, Myers AAA, where I coached the U15 AAA team to a silver medal at provincials. I have previously coached with the Upper Canada Cyclones at the U13 and U14 levels, Rideau St Lawrence Kings, and Brockville Minor Hockey.

I stress teamwork, respect, discipline, fair play, enthusiasm, commitment, effort, and tenacity which are all life skills that will be emphasised throughout the season. I will work with the coaching staff to provide a safe and positive learning environment that respects the process of player and team development as much as the result of winning or losing. 

My extensive coaching experience will greatly contribute to the solid coaching foundation we have assembled and will pay huge dividends in getting players to the next level.

I am very excited to be back with the Upper Canada Cyclones. I am committed to providing a season consisting of fun, up-tempo, high paced practices which will focus on individual skills, individual tactics, team tactics and systems. The players will be provided with the skills, tools, and feedback necessary to compete to their maximum individual potential in a team environment.
