I’m grateful and fortunate to have been chosen to coach the Peewee AA Belleville Bearcats next season.
I’m thrilled to be able to announce that Jason LaPalm, Taegan Rogers and Sara Kennedy will be joining me, giving the team a full non-parent coaching staff.
Jason is a Masterclass power-skating coach and a driving force at Go2TheMax Hockey. He has helped coach teams that won Gold and Silver medals at both Provincials and Lower Lakes as well as an International Silver Stick Championship. Jason has donated hundreds of hours to the youth of the Quinte area.
Taegan is a former Bearcat and an absolutely wonderful human being. I was fortunate to be Taegan’s coach when she played Bantam Bearcats. She has a deep knowledge of the game. Taegan will be working primarily with our forwards. She will be an energetic, insightful, positive role model for the young ladies on the PWAA team next year.
Sara is also a former Bearcat and a woman that inspires every young lady that she meets. She is one of the most positive people I have ever had the pleasure of spending time with. I was fortunate to coach Sara as a Midget Bearcat. She will be working with our goaltenders, passing on her incredible experiences and knowledge. Sara will be an intelligent, athletic, positive role model for the players next season.
Thank you to the Bearcats for giving me (and these great coaches) this opportunity.
If you have questions about the tryout process or the team next year do not hesitate to contact me.
