U11 A White – Doug Rothwell
Doug has been coaching in the Whitby Minor hockey program since 2019. Doug believes in a supportive and inclusive team environment with transparency, fair-play and working together with the entire team to ensure there is an open dialogue to provide constructive feedback. Coach Rothwell encourages a fast paced but positionally sound style of hockey. This enables players to have a strong offensive game with passes that connect to create scoring opportunities, and a solid defensive game that minimizes opponents’ scoring chances. For 2025-26, Doug will continue to foster a strong hockey program to develop and advance both the skaters and goalies. Player’s skating development will focus on speed, power and edge work. Additionally, practices will develop passing, puck control, shooting, and positional play skills. Goalie development includes on-ice mentoring, goalie camps and schools.
