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.
