The reputation of the Kent Hockey School staff
is built on the quality of the staff. Our coaches are educators who have had many years of
experience teaching hockey at both the high school, Midget, Junior and collegiate levels.
Our staff realizes the importance of learning the fundamentals of hockey while having fun
at the same time. We are also fortunate to retain most of our staff year in and year out.
The following is our staff for 2009. (The date in parenthesis is the year in which they
