Head Coach: Kendra Marotta
I am privileged to be granted the opportunity to coach Peewee AA. I have a wide variety of coaching and teaching experiences that maximizes my preparedness for this position.
I currently hold a B.A and B.Ed, and am in the process of completing a Master of Education at Brock University. My research is geared toward further understanding the emotional lives of children and adolescence. I continue to apply this knowledge into my coaching practice as I am concerned with the overall well-being and development of both the athlete and student.
My experiences as an on and off-ice coach at Total Package Hockey led me to truly value the importance of skills development. I’ve instructed various ages and levels across girls and boys hockey both at TPH and through private instruction (Int. AA, MAA, BAAA, etc.). I am fortunate enough to have worked as an assistant coach and trainer for St. Catharines Jr. Badgers Bantam A, AA, and Midget AA programs. These experiences in combination with my years of involvement playing for various AA teams has enhanced my coaching philosophy.
As an educated female athlete, I know what is required to play high level hockey while maintaining positive habits. Myself and my all female, non-parent staff, plan on providing meaningful opportunities for young female athletes.
