AP RAIDERS U14B (25/26) - COACH PROFILE & TEAM INFORMATION
HEAD COACH - JAMIE CUSACK
I bring over a decade of coaching experience to the bench, combining a deep passion for hockey with a proven ability to develop players and build successful teams. With a career rooted in both ice and ball hockey, I have cultivated a reputation for fostering growth, resilience, and teamwork at every level.
MY PHILOSOPHY
I have dedicated my time and expertise to developing players and guiding teams to success. Most recently, I took on the challenge of coaching a brand-new team during its inaugural season. Despite a difficult start in the first half of the season, my leadership and strategic adjustments helped turn things around. The team showed remarkable improvement, finishing the year with significant progress both on and off the ice. My ability to inspire confidence, instill discipline, and create a positive team culture has been instrumental in shaping players into better athletes and individuals; this will continue to be my philosophy moving forward into the 2025-2026 season.
MY PROGRAM
My comprehensive athlete development program for 2025 encompasses a multi-faceted approach designed to enhance performance and skill progression:
• Bi-weekly development sessions
• Monthly technical skills clinics
• Off-ice video review sessions
• Strength and conditioning sessions
• Athletic performance enhancement
Tournaments for 2025:
• 3-4 tournament appearances
• Including one international competition in the United States
I anticipate having over 100 hours of ice time. Ice time provided by the APMHA is all prime time and easy for families. Our ice time is generally fixed to specific days and times, so there is no guessing week to week when we are on the ice.
AP RAIDERS ASSOCIATION
APR is the place to play.
The APMHA has a dedicated Board of Directors and Executive that are all non-parent members, eliminating any perceived conflict of interest or favoritism; their dedication to our MHA is limitless, with no personal gain other than the success of our Association and its players/teams. We have a full administrative staff to support parents and players through all aspects of the season. The APMHA has a solid foundation of continuous and unwavering support for our Coaches, Players and AP Raiders families.
