Why I Coach
"I choose to coach youth hockey, because I love the game and I want to share that with the kids. My favorite part of coaching is watching the development of each player and how that correlates to team work."
Coaching Approach
"My approach to coaching the game is perfecting the basics and building a solid foundation to use individual skill to succeed as a team."
Coaching Experience
Coach Amon brings his passion for hockey and more than 11 years coaching experience to the ice.
"My hockey journey began in the streets and ponds of Piscataway, NJ after moving to NY I played hockey for the Highland Ice Hawks (Co-op out of Poughkeepsie, NY) after High School I joined the Coast Guard continuing to play National level and International Military Tournaments across the Country. I started Coaching in Kenosha, WI when my Middle son was a Squirt and continue to work out of Kenosha today. Coaching for Kenosha has led me the opportunity to Coach other places as well; I’ve coached an All-star Tournament in MN, a AAA team out of Green Bay and for the last 7 years I’ve coached at a Hockey Camp for Military Families in St. Cloud Minnesota for United Heroes League."
Testimonials & Endorsements
I have received many compliments from parents of players that I’ve coached, United Heroes League has said the Camp would not run as smooth without my help and asks me back every year, but it’s the positive feedback from the players that mean the most.
