Total Defense with Coach Glenn

TO COMPETE IN TODAY'S GAME, YOU NEED A COACH WHO'S BEEN THERE.

Hockey is an ever-evolving sport, and to ensure you get the very best in your training, it's important to select the right coach for the job. Many coaches who played at elite levels don't keep up with current trends in the sport. The team that wins the battles often wins the game. Coaches and scouts always look at how a player competes, his/her intelligence and leadership on and off the ice.

Head Coach Glenn was an outstanding Defenseman for John Abbott College, St Lawrence University and the Belleville Junior A Bulls. Coach Glenn and his coaching staff will team up to take all the defensemen through all aspects of the position with individual direction, guidance and encouragement.
