INTRODUCING OUR U14 A/AA HEAD COACH FOR THE 2025-2026 SEASON BILL MUELLER Getting to know Coach Bill: What inspired you to become a hockey coach? I really enjoy working with kids, seeing them learn and improve. How do you foster team culture? Continually emphasize we are all in this together and we need everyone doing their best for us to succeed. Have team building events (summer party, mini camp, …) Have the players lead the setting and achieving of team goals. Make sure we give each of the players the opportunities to feel a big part of the team. What does it feel like to be coached by me? I think I am someone who is easy to talk to and joke around with but at the same time will push you in games or practices to play as hard as you can. What do you want your players to learn or take away from this season? I want them to improve their individual skills, have a better understanding and improved execution of team concepts but most importantly enjoy coming to the rink and having a passion for the game. Who is your favorite NHL team? The Leafs! Who is your favorite retired player? Favorite Current Player? I loved watching Gretzky in his prime. Currently it is McDavid who has you on the edge of your seat whenever he gets the puck. 2025 Stanley Cup Champs are... My favourite team finally wins the cup! Who is your favorite music artist? Listen mostly to country now, probably Luke Combs. Unfortunately the kids won’t let me play country in the dressing room. Away from the rink you will most likely find me... Around home doing something with one or more of my 5 kids.
