Hockey Alberta

Building the next generation of hockey coaches!

The Future Leaders Program provided participants with a unique opportunity to learn directly from experienced leaders in the game while exploring what it means to create positive and meaningful experiences for players.

A special thank you to the Hockey Alberta Foundation for investing in this program and in the coaches who will shape the future of the game. Their support helps ensure the next generation of coaches are ready to inspire, lead, and grow hockey in communities across the province.
