Please Welcome Our New U9A - White Head Coach 2024-2025

Hello everyone,
I am excited and honored to have the opportunity to introduce myself as coach of the  Silver Seven U9 Team White for the 2024-2025 season. My name is Julian Talbot. Hockey has always been a significant part of my life, and I am very passionate about the sport.
Some of my hockey experience includes:
        •       800+ Professional Hockey Games
        •       NHL Organizations- St. Louis Blues, Colorado Avalanche
        •       Ottawa 67’s OHL 2002-2006 Team Captain
        •       Coaching my Children’s teams
As we embark on this journey together, I want to assure you that my primary goal is to create a positive and empowering environment for each player. I believe in fostering a strong sense of teamwork, sportsmanship, and personal growth. With a focus on building both individual skills and a cohesive team, I am confident that we can achieve great things together. I would like to work hand in hand to support our young athletes, instill a love for the game, and create lasting memories on and off the ice. I am truly honored to be a part of this  journey and can't wait to witness the progress and success of our talented athletes.
I consider  building  the  character  of  the  person  just  as  important  as  developing the  skills  of  the  player.    I  will  teach  my  players  through  my  words  and  actions  the values of respect,  resilience,  empathy,  teamwork  and  sportsmanship  that  will benefit  them  long  after  their hockey days  are over.
I would also like to emphasize the importance of parental commitment to the success of our team. Your involvement and support play a huge role in creating an environment that fosters growth, teamwork, and positive experiences for our athletes.
