Coach Bio

Coach – Mark Provenzano

I played my Minor hockey in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario before progressing to Jr. B and Jr. A hockey in Sarnia and Newmarket Ontario. I was then drafted to the OHL and played for the North Bay Centennials. After finishing my hockey playing career, I gained some experience scouting in Northern Ontario at the OHL level as well as doing an internship with the Washington Capitals of the NHL in their Hockey Operations Department.

I have been a Head Coach at every level from IP to Bantam competitive. I have been a Head Coach in Competitive Rep B and A hockey for almost 10 years at the Atom, Peewee and Bantam levels within the Leitrim Hawks and Gloucester Rangers Hockey Associations.

I am a competitive person and strive to win every game but always with the perspective of developing each and every kid to be a better hockey player and person at the end of the season. My goal every year is to see all of the kids develop vs only a few. When each individual child develops it helps the team to have success. This comes with the understanding that each child develops at a different pace and may be at a different place on the development curve. Development can take many forms whether through skill development, situational game based development or development through lessons learned from winning and losing. I also want the kids to truly enjoy playing the game and enjoy coming to the rink, so I strive to have a serious but energetic, fun atmosphere at the rink. With the upcoming season and U16 team my focus is on providing a memorable and fun experience as many of these players move towards the end of their Minor Hockey journey. I look forward to another fun year!
