Head Coach – Brad MacNeil

Bio

I have a lifelong passion for hockey that has been built through my experience as both a player and a coach.  I played Junior A hockey with the Kingston Voyageurs and Gloucester Rangers and later competed internationally in Australia’s East Coast Super League.  My coaching experience spans over a decade across multiple levels, from introductory programs to competitive AA teams.  I have served as both a head coach and assistant coach and have been lucky enough to be a part of many successful seasons at both the individual player and team levels.  In my experience there is a fine balance between Team improvement and Individual skill development.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is centred on creating a positive, structured, and growth-focused environment where players feel supported while being held to high standards.  I strive to balance fun with accountability, being fair and consistent while fostering confidence, resilience, and a strong work ethic.  I am a huge believer in the development of the whole player, focusing not only on skill progression and team systems, but also on values such as teamwork, respect, perseverance, and integrity.  Through open communication and strong relationships with players and families, I aim to build trust and create a culture where athletes are empowered to take ownership of their development and to understand that true success comes from collective effort and mutual support.
