Pickering Hockey Symposium

For any hockey coach, experienced or just getting started, learning more and gathering as much information from those who have been similar adventures along the way is one of the best things you can do while looking to enhance your abilities. One useful event coming up is run by the Pickering Hockey Association as they will be conducting their 6th annual coaches symposium on June 4th at St.Mary’s High School in Pickering.

Guest speakers at include George Burnett (Bellville Bulls coach/GM), Marty Williamson (Niagara Ice Dogs coach/GM), Paul Dennis (Toronto Maple Leafs and University of Toronto) and Stan Butler (Brampton Battalion coach/Director of Hockey Operations) amongst the bevy of other insightful hockey minds.

I attended the symposium last year and found it to be a positive and beneficial event. The speakers cover topics ranging for special teams and a variety of important game related topics (psychology of hockey as well as various effective in game techniques and practice drills).

Even if you are not yet associated with a particular organization and are curious about learning more, this symposium is worth looking into.
