Sports Director U13-J20 and Head Coach J18/J20 Division 1 at Åmål SportKlubb
April 2021 - January 2025 | Åmål, SwedenFor the past three and a half seasons, I have served as the Head Coach of Åmål SportKlubb's J20/J18 Division 1 Hockey Clubs and as the Sports Director for the U13-U20 teams in Åmål, Sweden. During this time, I have worked with J20/J18 teams that have made significant strides in skill development and competition. By focusing on enhancing hockey IQ, mental toughness, and faster-paced game understanding, the players have shown tremendous growth. Since becoming Head Coach, we have advanced ten players to the Åmål Division 2 team, and as a result of their hard work, ten J20 players have signed contracts with the Division 2 team. As Sports Director for the U13-J20 teams, I was responsible for overseeing both coaches and players. I worked closely with coaches to guide them in creating practice plans, held regular meetings to address challenges, and provided support for problem-solving. I also participated on the ice during practices, offering real-time feedback and mentorship. Additionally, I met with players regularly to check on their progress, gather feedback, and discuss individual development. I also observed and evaluated games to assess the implementation of skills learned in practice, monitor bench management, and evaluate players' behavior.

Head Coach Åmål Bulls Hockey Club Division 2 HockeyTvåan at Åmål SportKlubb
February 2024 - January 2025 | Åmål, SwedenIn January 2024, I signed a two-year extension to become the Head Coach of Åmål Division 2 (Hockeytvåan) for the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 seasons, while continuing in my role as Head Coach of the J20 team. On February 15, 2024, I was asked to take over the Åmål Division 2 team for the relegation play-offs. Despite the tough schedule, we played six games in ten days, winning four and losing one in overtime, successfully securing our place in Division 2. This season presented several challenges, particularly at the start, with many of our import players unavailable due to delays in their visa approvals. My team was the youngest in the Hockeytvåan series, and we began the season with a 0-5-1 record, with every game decided by two or fewer goals. However, as the season progressed, we found our rhythm, and before I had to return to Canada, we had climbed to the second-best overall record in the series, with the second-best power play (38%) and penalty kill (81%). Unfortunately, due to new regulations introduced by the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation and the Swedish Migration Agency, my work permit was rejected, requiring me to return to Canada before completing the 2024/2025 season.
