Director of Coaching Barry Jones reinforces the NRG Hockey ethos: developing the whole person, not just the player.
Rooted in an ecological approach, we design environments that shape adaptable, resilient humans, not just athletes. By nurturing perception–action coupling and decision-making in complex, game-like scenarios, we prepare individuals to navigate more than just the chaos of sport.
Hockey is our blueprint, but life is the bigger game. Through representative learning, we help young people develop strong coping skills, emotional awareness, and a deep understanding of themselves and their environment.
We’re not just building better players, we’re cultivating capable, confident people who thrive both on and off the ice.
