Hockey & Coaching Experience

My name is Jeff Yukich and I’m excited for the opportunity to coach this year’s U10 Rep B team.  Growing up in Sault Ste. Marie, I started playing hockey at the age of 5 and started coaching in 2015.  I’ve been in many coaching roles in House League and Rep B including on-ice helper, goalie coach, assistant coach, and head coach.   I hope to bring my experience as well as my passion for hockey to the rink on every occasion.

Coaching Philosophy

First and foremost, I want to make sure that every player has a positive and fun experience.  Being that this is the first competitive hockey team for the players, I want to instill the work ethic and commitment that is required to play at this level which will allow them to move forward down their athletic path.  I will be highly focused on skill development while incorporating tactics, team play and hockey strategy.  Practices will be high tempo and we will compete during all games.  My goal is for all players to have fun, be respectful, and become the best athlete they can over the course of the season.  GO HAWKS GO!!!
