One of my absolute favorite parts of the Impakt Hockey Development camp is having our junior coaches on the ice alongside Coach Tim & Carson.
Giving these athletes a chance to step into coaching—not only working with younger players here in Alaska, but learning how to lead, communicate, and give back to the game—is something really special. And for our campers, there’s nothing more powerful than seeing firsthand what hard work, discipline, and commitment can turn into.
I’ve known every one of these kids since they were little, and watching them grow into the young adults they are today has been incredible. They now represent the NAHL, BCHL, USHL, NCAA (D1 & D3) collegiate levels—and they carry themselves in a way that sets the standard both on and off the ice.
There’s no question our campers have loved learning from them over the past two weeks. We hope they see what’s possible and use these coaches as role models for what’s ahead in their own journeys.
We wrapped up the week with a special ice time with Coach Tim, and I truly can’t thank our junior coaches enough for being such an important part of ImpAKt.
