We are PLAYMAKERS
What is our MISSION?
Relentlessly serve the game of hockey and the people in it, both on & off the ice, (player, official, coach, or parent) so that you can achieve your goals.
Provide players and coaches with a POSITIVE and EFFECTIVE training environment in an effort to inspire a lifelong LOVE for the GAME and personal GROWTH through ice hockey and physical fitness.
ALL Representatives of Playmakers Hockey must operate in accordance with the following:
SERVE THE GAME
- no individual, team, or organization is more important than the game itself - Use our love for the game and our own experiences to SELFLESSLY SERVE THE GAME
PROJECT POSITIVITY
- Attitude & Energy are contagious. When we're at the rink, in the gym, and in the community, we are positive, kind, and enthusiastic.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
- Athletes excel when clear and simple direction is used with deliberate practice. Have a plan, communicate the plan, and do what's effective. It's not about putting on a show. It’s about teaching and getting results.
COACH CHARACTER
- We MUST coach and display character attributes daily. Work Ethic, Competitive Spirit, & Humility are prerequisites for successful hockey players and quality people.
