Roster, U9 MD1 (Elgin Thames Minor Hockey)

Ryan Fletcher

I am truly excited and honored to be coaching the U9MD1 team this season. Hockey has always been a significant part of my life, from growing up and playing in Dorchester to living here my entire life. I’ve had the privilege of being an assistant coach with the U7 team and previously serving as the head coach for U9MD2 Dorchester Dragons, which has provided me with a wealth of experience working with young players.  

In my playing career, I had the opportunity to compete in Junior C hockey in Aylmer, which deepened my understanding and love for the game. This experience drives my passion for developing young players, teaching them not just the skills they need to succeed on the ice, but also instilling the confidence to be the best players they can be.  

As a coach, my goal is to create a positive team culture where every player feels included and valued, both on and off the ice. I want our players to learn the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and respect, while also developing their skills to reach their full potential.  

Additionally, I have served as president of the Dorchester Men’s NBC Hockey League for 10 years, further demonstrating my commitment to the local hockey community and the development of the game at all levels.  

I look forward to an exciting season, building relationships with these young athletes, and helping them grow in the game we all love!×
