It’s National Coaches Week and we’re saying to all of the dedicated coaches across our sports and programs.

Para Ice Hockey Coach Noah Ahmed shared with us what he enjoys most about coaching

“What I enjoy most about coaching para hockey is probably the inspiration I get from the amount of unmatched dedication the athletes have to their craft.

Para hockey also relies heavily on teamwork and chemistry and seeing our senior players take on our newer players and show them the ropes , especially in our silver medal run in the Canadian nationals last year was incredible to watch. “
