COACHES, YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS!
THE 2024 COACH LEADERSHIP DAY EVENT IS ON OCTOBER 16TH!
Hockey Inspires Leadership Day is an initiative put on by Hockey Calgary in conjunction with the Flames Foundation, Calgary Sport and Entertainment Corporation, and the Coaches Site. Historically, the event brought together 1000 players for a 1-day conference with guest speakers, mentors, and high energy activities focused on the development of leadership.
On October 16th, coaches are invited to take part in the 3rd Annual Leadership Day – Coach Edition. The engaging event will deliver a wide variety of on and off ice topics to give coaches some actionable strategies that they can use to ensure their sport is providing kids a supportive runway for the rest of their lives. Ultimately, we believe coaches have an opportunity to instill the right values in their players by building a foundation for fun, development, competition, connection, and growth of Calgary’s future community leaders.
