Mike LaPlante

  Coach Mike is passionate about building strong players and even stronger teammates. In addition to his technical expertise and strategy, his more than ten years of coaching experience gives him a profound understanding of what it takes to mould young athletes into resilient, self-assured people. For Mike, coaching is about development rather than just winning and losing. He thinks that every game, drill, and practice offers a chance to impart life lessons, such as grace in losing, humility in winning, and tenacity in the face of adversity. Whether it's honing skating skills or negotiating team dynamics, Mike leads with passion and purpose. He is eager to mentor the next generation, not just in becoming exceptional hockey players but also in helping young athletes discover their identity and develop a lifelong love for the sport.×
