Head Coach – Ryan Moxness

Bio

Hockey has been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. After moving to Ottawa at age 12, I played two seasons of Rep B hockey, progressed to the AA level, and later played junior hockey in Ottawa. I have coached with the Leitrim Hawks since 2023, serving as an Assistant Coach for two seasons and as Head Coach of U9 A2 in 2025–26. I have also assisted at the Junior level and am excited to continue coaching as Head Coach of the U12 Rep B team for the 2026–27 season.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is built around compete level, accountability, preparation, and team-first hockey. At the U12 Rep B level, players are ready to be challenged with higher expectations, more structure, and a greater focus on hockey IQ, positional responsibility, and playing the game the right way. Our team will focus on skating with pace, puck support, defensive responsibility, communication, safe checking habits, and executing skills under pressure. Practices will be high-tempo, competitive, and game-like, with an emphasis on decision-making, small-area battles, and playing together as a connected five-player unit. Our goal will be to become a team that is difficult to play against because we skate, support, battle, communicate, and refuse to quit on plays. Winning will matter, but it will be the result of doing things the right way: preparing properly, playing together, competing with purpose, and committing to the details that help both players and teams improve. Most importantly, I want our players to embrace the challenge of competitive hockey, take pride in representing the Hawks, and finish the season as stronger players, better teammates, and more confident competitors.
