U16 A White – Geoff Hodgkinson
Coach Hodgkinson has been coaching in the WMHA for the past 9 years with a D1 Certification. His coaching experience extends over the past 25 years, coaching levels from U10 AAA through to U18 AAA and three seasons with the Uxbridge Bruins Jr C program. The U16 A White Program will focus on team strategies, systems, individual skills and overall personal and team development. We will challenge players to develop their hockey skills through a large variety of high tempo practices, off ice training and skill sessions throughout the entire season. We will work on increasing the player’s in-game knowledge that will help the player’s ability to think and execute the game at a higher level. Coaching throughout the years has taught Geoff that a team first mentality is extremely valuable to achieving team success and his team will take pride in being committed to a team first mentality on and off the ice.
