AP RAIDERS U11AAA (25/26) - COACH PROFILE & TEAM INFORMATION
HEAD COACH - JEFF WONG
I have had the privilege of being part of the Ajax Pickering Minor Hockey Association for the past 7 years, where I’ve served as a head coach, most recently working with the U10 and U11 AAA age groups. My coaching experience has been both rewarding and challenging, as I’ve had the opportunity to develop young players while fostering teamwork, sportsmanship, and a love for the game. I am also currently an instructor for Durham Hockey Development.
Originally from Northern Ontario, hockey has been a central part of my life from a young age. I grew up playing at all levels, which has given me a deep understanding of the game and the dedication required to succeed. Now, I am proud to call Ajax home, where I not only coach but also run my business in the community.
I am passionate about giving back to the sport that has shaped my life and about contributing to the growth of hockey in Ajax and the surrounding area.
THE U11AAA PROGRAM
Our hockey team operates with a clear focus on player and team development, ensuring each athlete is constantly pushed to be their best, both on and off the ice. We believe in giving players the space to grow into the best version of themselves, emphasizing skill development, hockey IQ, and a deep understanding of the game.
Our coaching approach is centered on setting players up for success, not just for the current season, but for their long-term growth as athletes. To compliment on-ice training, we incorporate dry land sessions and video analysis throughout the months, providing players with a well-rounded development experience that prepares them for the challenges of the game.
By creating an environment that fosters both individual and team growth, we help athletes reach their full potential and set them up for future success in hockey and beyond.
ICE TIME
Our team will be on the ice approximately 3-4 times per week. APR makes it easy for families by providing prime time ice times to our teams. We currently use 3 facilities in the association with 9 ice pads between them. Our practice and home game schedule is a fixed one, providing consistency to the season.
ASSOCIATION
APR is the place to play.
The Ajax Pickering Minor Hockey Association (APMHA) is built on a strong, dedicated Board of Directors and Executive team, all of whom are non-parent members. This ensures an unbiased, conflict-free environment where every decision is made with the best interests of our players and teams in mind. Their unwavering commitment to the growth and success of the MHA comes without personal gain—only a shared passion for fostering the development of our players and the continued success of our Association. With a full administrative staff in place, we provide seamless support for both parents and players throughout the season. The APMHA stands on a solid foundation of continuous, unwavering support for our coaches, players, and AP Raiders families, ensuring a positive and successful hockey experience for all involved.
