My name is Mike Traynor and I have been an Assistant Coach with the NMHA for the past 7 years before accepting my current role as the U16A Head Coach.
I believe that developing a strong team culture is the foundation for team success. Players are challenged to come to the rink each day ready to compete, pushing themselves and their teammates for the greater good of the group. With help from a committed coaching staff, we will focus on both individual skill and team tactics while providing a safe and healthy environment for our athletes to learn and grow together. Team sport is an excellent vehicle that provides our athletes with lifelong lessons. Our goal is to ensure that players walk away each season with a solid understanding of how to apply the lessons they have learned to situations both on and off the rink.
