Harley Rice / Stefan Skinner - Squirt Assistant Coach
Harley Rice Squirt AA Assistant Coach
Coaching philosophy:
To not only teach the game of hockey but also to teach life lessons through leadership, sportsmanship, self confidence, team work, humility and above all, self respect. Every child is a winner. Every child is a leader. Winner does not necessarily mean first place. A leader is not necessarily the head of the pack. I want to inspire your kids! To give them the self confidence to tell their peers, and truly believe that winners always give 100 percent effort. Leaders always do what is right.
