Coach Information Subject to Change
 
From the Maulers Co-Hockey Directors:  Michael Hernbrott & Rodger Sykes
 
As the Maulers enter into our second year of travel level hockey, we feel it is very important to build on the important principles we are trying to instill in the young men and women in our organization.  Character, Integrity and Loyalty are what we believe are the pillars of what it means to be part of the Maulers Hockey Association.  It is with these pillars in mind, we PROUDLY announce our 2011-12 season travel AA level coaches.  Additional coaches will be added for travel level A as needed.
  
Mite AA - Rodger Sykes
Squirt AA - Jim Meyer
Pee Wee AA- Dave Walsh
Bantam AA - Ed Garver
Midget (NWHL) - Anthony Booth
 
We look forward to adding new players and seeing the return of the players and families that share our organizational beliefs.

Hey Coach

 Coaches Open Houses

by posted 6/26/2011

Hey Coaches,

As you may or may not know, the Rink Side Maulers youth hockey program has continued to grow at record numbers for the past several years.  Last year, we surpassed the largest number of youth hockey players in our house and travel programs ever.  This includes when the Lake County Atoms were the travel organization.
 
By virtue of the numbers we have at our younger ages in our Learn to Play hockey and Mauler Cubs and Minor Hawks programs I fully expect to have even larger numbers in the fall.
 
This is very rewarding however it also brings on many new challenges.  One of the challenges is bringing in new coaches that understand our Maulers philosophy and what it means to teach these kids the sport the proper way.
 
I will be leading up three coaches open house/Instructional sessions this summer.  The first being this Sunday, June 26th at 10:40 am during our Stick time.  This is open to all current Mauler's coaches and potential coaches who are interested in becoming a USA Hockey Certified Youth Hockey Coach and a member of the Mauler's Coaching staff.
 
Topics will include:  USA Hockey's American Developmental Model, How to run age and skill level appropriate practices, Maulers Youth Hockey Philosophy, What makes a Youth Hockey Coach Successful.  We will also run through drills with players on the session.
 
Equipment needed:  Skates, hockey stick, hockey helmet and hockey gloves.
 
I will also be running sessions at the same time on Sunday July 24th and Sunday August 7th,
 
If you have given any thought to coaching this is a good place to start.  Please let me know if you would like to attend with a quick email.
 
Thanks and hope to see you at the rink.
