Last season with NAVC, Chris was the head coach of the 14U Griffins and is looking forward to working again at the same age group. This will be Chris’ fourth year coaching with NAVC.  He has extensive playing experience prior to joining the club. He played with Macewan College from 2006 – 2009 winning a Provincial and National Championship with Macewan in 2009 while also being named tournament MVP.  That summer, he was also a part of the U21 Team Alberta that went on to win gold at the 2009 Canada Summer Games. Chris then moved on to the University of Alberta where he played with the Golden Bears from 2009 – 2011 winning a Canada West Championship and a CIS bronze medal in 2010, as well as being an Academic All-Canadian both seasons with the Bears.  During his prior playing experiences Chris was lucky enough to be coached by some incredible coaches and has adopted his own coaching philosophy based on these prior experiences.  Athlete development and a focus on the process are paramount in Chris’ coaching philosophy.
