JASON ALEXANDER
Getting to know Coach Jason:
What inspired you to become a hockey coach?
I coach to inspire players to reach their full potential and to pay forward the mentorship that shaped who I am today.

We build a strong team culture through clear communication, defined expectations, and ensuring every player understands their role and how it contributes to our team’s success.
What does it feel like to be coached by me?
Players describe me as fair, honest, and clear in my expectations, and I expect a strong work ethic every day, regardless of the outcome.

My goal is to help players develop the skills and hockey IQ needed to compete at the next level, should they choose to pursue it, while fostering a lasting passion for the game.
