Brian Maloney and his coaching staff with the Chilliwack Chiefs will have more resources at their disposal this season as the BCHL partners with ‘The Coaches Site.’
An online resource for coaches from all levels of hockey, The Coaches Site features conference panel videos, white-board tutorials, on-ice videos, articles and interviews with coaches from the National Hockey League, NCAA, junior, international and minor hockey.
“We’re always looking for ways to be progressive and support the development of our players and team personnel,” said BCHL Executive Director Steven Cocker. “This site provides tools and support for coaches while giving them the opportunity to learn and share information with their peers at the highest levels around the world.”
