Scott Ryan
Hello, my name is Scott Ryan and I am pleased to have been selected as this years U13 Head Coach.
I am looking forward to working with this year’s group of young athletes. We will continue tobuild on the foundation that has brought them this far and get them out of their comfort zone so theycan excel as individuals and more importantly as a team in the upcoming 2024/25 season.
We will create a safe, respectful, and fun environment so the kids have the best chance to grow and improve their skills. The coaching staff and I will stress the importance of fair play, accountability and being good supportive teammates. We will stress the importance of treating coaches, teammates, parents, officials, and opponents with respect. The kids will be given equal opportunity to develop their skills in all areas and situations of the game.
Practices will be fast paced and skill oriented to allow the kids to develop their fundamental skills. We will focus on skating technique, edge/body control, small area play, battling, communication, responsibility, tactics, strategy, and teamwork, giving them the tools they need to make decisions during the game.
Goal is that this will translate into a successful season where the kids can be proud of their team success and their individual improvements and accomplishments.
We have secured spots in the following tournaments, and I will look to add another one.
The Duel Tournament - Perth (October 25-27
International Silver Stick – Northumberland – (November 22-24)
24th Annual Bell Capital Cup – Ottawa – (December 27 -31)
Looking forward to another competitive tryout in the fall. I will be looking for players who not only display strong skating skills and positional play but also demonstrate a high level of coach-ability and work ethic. I encourage all of you to come to tryouts for this year’s team. Keep an eye on the MTK website for information about the Summer Skates.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
