WHAT'S NEW AT STING?  updated May 28, 2023

We are thrilled to announce the following new partnerships that will start this Fall 2023!

MINDBUFFS: Sports Psychology for Athletes. They will work with our athletes by helping them overcome emotional and mental barriers that may interfere with their peak performance. #mentalhealth  more info: MindBuffs

TEAMGENIUS: A powerful platform for efficient tryouts, evaluations and player development. Sting will be using this new platform for the 2023/2024 season.  

PERSONAL TRAINER - HUNTER MARSDEN: She has been in the fitness industry for 5 years and has coached high intensity interval training, circuit training, Olympic lifting and sports teams. She played hockey for 15+ years and had the honor to play for the Olds College Broncos Women's hockey team on a hockey scholarship. Hunter can't wait to get started with our athletes at the MLC this fall!

POWER SKATING COACH - MANDY LAYDEN: She brings a wealth of applicable experience to our program. She has worked with 50+ teams over the last 10 years, delivering age appropriate instruction for athletes ranging from U7 to AJHL (Drayton Valley Thunder). Certifications from Canpower, Bracko Hockey, Hockey Canada and Hockey Alberta. Her strength is connecting with athletes and building trust... making them feel comfortable while doing uncomfortable things is necessary when delivering challenging skating sessions. Excited to have her as a development partner for the 2023/2024 season!
