Current Coaches (Guelph Girls Hockey Association)

Josh is the father of two GGHA girls who played Novice HL and Select in 2016-17 and he spent 2016-17 serving as head coach of both teams. This will be Josh’s first year as the Novice rep head coach.  

The focus of the Novice rep team will be individual skill development, learning to be a teammate, experiencing the sense of team, while having a ton of fun.   Josh believes in developing well rounded girls, fair play, positive reinforcement and inspiring dreams on and off the ice. 

He is looking forward to a great 2017/18 season – Go Gryphons Go! 

Randy is a father of 3 GGHA girls, playing Pee-Wee, Atom and Novice rep in 2016-17. He has been active on and off the ice with the Guelph Girls Rep program for the last four seasons and moves into Atom, after a successful season in his second year as Head Coach of the Novice Jr. Gryphons. 

His coaching philosophy revolves around skill development, positive reinforcement and fostering a love for the game. He respects the uniqueness in all families and individuals, and works hard to maintain a positive and supportive environment in which the girls can thrive.

He looks forward to continuing his coaching journey, paying back to the game he loves.

Mike is excited and looking forward to the upcoming season with the Peewee B team.  He has been a coach in both girls and boys Rep Hockey for 23 years and played Rep hockey with the Chinguacousy minor hockey association (CMHA).  This experience and other educational opportunities have provided Mike with many ideas on how to develop and grow this year’s Peewee B team.

Mike’s coaching philosophy revolves around three things a player must develop to be successful: game sense, attitude and skills.  His theme as a coach is to teach the girls to never stop learning and to show them the importance of giving 110% in whatever they do, both on and off the ice. Mike works hard to create a safe environment that is positive and respectful to the female athletes through encouragement, teaching and fair discipline when needed.  Open communication between parents, coaches and players will create success for the team.
