December 2024 – Coach of the Month
We are thrilled to announce Dave Denholm as the Wolverines Coach of the Month for December!
As one of our longest-tenured coaches, Dave has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and commitment to the development of our young athletes. Not only does “Coach Dave” always have a smile on his face… His practices are dynamic and action-packed, ensuring that the kids are always engaged and continuously improving their skills. There’s no standing around—every player is constantly involved and challenged to give their best.
One of the standout aspects of Dave’s coaching style this season has been the introduction of the “Player of the Practice” initiative. This has had a profound impact on the energy and effort levels in every session, as the previous player of the practice assists in recognizing the next recipient. This approach has fostered a great sense of teamwork and has kept the kids motivated and excited to come to each practice.
In addition to his innovative coaching methods, Coach Dave has made a strong effort to promote unity within the team. He encourages players to sit with new teammates at every ice time and has even encouraged parents to support this practice. The result has been a remarkable sense of camaraderie among the players and a noticeable improvement in their development, even early in the season.
It’s evident that Dave’s passion for coaching and his genuine care for the players make him an invaluable part of our hockey family.
Please join me in congratulating Dave Denholm on being named Coach of the Month for December. He is truly deserving of this recognition, and we are all excited to see the continued growth and success of his U13-3 Blue team under his leadership.
