Coaching Staff
Jeremy Goltz , Coach-in-Chief
"Hockey can teach the value of being a good teammate, self confidence, hard work, trust and loyalty. My experience as a hockey player and coach have truly been instrumental in who I am, where I am and my relationships.
I wanted to create an opportunity that is pure. You'll hear me say that a lot. Purity means it doesn't matter where a player comes from: house, A, AAA. What matters is what the player brings to every practice and game.
Long after the wins and losses are forgotten, if your child works a little harder than "the other guy," values integrity, believes in him or herself and is on the path to becoming the person he or she wants to become, you and I can look back on their Mission experience with satisfaction. This is what a pure hockey experience can help create. This is what I work every day to build and maintain."
