HEAD COACH - JASON WYLES
I am excited to introduce myself as the new coach for the U11 Ajax Pickering Raiders AA team. With an extensive background in competitive hockey, rugby and fitness I bring a wealth of experience and passion for developing young athletes.
COACHING PHILOSOPHY
I am dedicated to working with a talented group of athletes to help them develop their skills, teamwork, and love for the game. With a strong emphasis on attitude, respect, and effort, I believe that success is built on these three core principles:
• Attitude: Maintaining a positive attitude towards your teammates, coaches, and the game itself.
• Respect: Fostering mutual respect among teammates, coaches, referees and the opposition. Understand how to win and lose with class.
• Effort: Encouraging full effort during practices and games. Be engaged, attentive and disciplined while you’re at the rink.
PLAYING & COACHING BACKGROUND
I have a long history of competitive hockey, having played AAA and Jr. A hockey locally in Pickering and Ajax. Additionally, I played varsity hockey at the University of Toronto, demonstrating a high level of skill and commitment to the sport. After I finished playing hockey I began coaching.
