Twenty-five years coaching competitive hockey has given me one clear conviction: players who understand why they made a decision are more dangerous than players who were told what to do.

My practice is grounded in an Ecological Dynamics framework and a Constraints-Led Approach. I design environments where information drives decisions — not instruction. Representative task design. Small groups. Genuine decision consequences. The coach manipulates constraints and asks questions. The player finds solutions.

I've built this approach across the AAA pathway while also gaining experience coaching within Hockey Canada's Program of Excellence environment. Players I have worked with have advanced to the QMJHL, Hockey Canada's U17 Program, USNTDP and U SPORTS.

Currently coaching AAA hockey in Halifax, Nova Scotia with a focused interest in small-group development built around player-led learning and observable game transfer.
