TOM MCINTYRE

U-18 AA

I have been coaching hockey for 14 seasons now. Four of those years were with U-18 AA, where we were successful in winning the city championships, and one year attending provincials as well. 

I am extremely passionate about offence, specifically focussed on puck possession systems and style of play. 

For the last 8 years I have ran off season development for players trying out for junior, and club hockey.

I am married with two boys, one attending university and the other completing high school. 

Looking forward to a great season!

DUSTIN BEECH

U-16 AA

 This will be my first year with the organization and I’m thrilled to be joining a organization with as much history & dedication to Edmonton as Maple Leafs Athletic Club.

 

I’m a firm believer that hockey is the greatest game to truly grow a person into a strong, independent future leader who works hard and smart during good times and also times of adversity. It teaches us how to be humble in times of success but more importantly how to learn in times of failure.

 

My experience’s in hockey have taken me to many different levels over the past 15 years, from coaching power skating with many elite programs across the city all the way up to being apart of the Golden Bears and Pandas program in 2005-2006 I’ve been head coach at many different levels male and female from Atom- Senior AA and have learned something new from my players and staff at every level. I believe in a direct approach with my players with constant communication and feedback to get the most out of them on and off the ice.

 

I look forward to once again learning from my experience at MLAC and commit to be a positive role model and coach for our players at every level. I operate with a open door policy and can’t wait to get started with the U16AA and U13AA teams.

TIM TYMCHUK

 

U-15 AAA -

Our staff which include my 2 sons are excited and proud once again to be coaching in MLAC organization. Not only because my sons played their club hockey there but I began my Elite coaching career with the MLAC over 20 years ago. We bring over 50+ years of coaching experience and developing hockey players at the Elite level. With our program every player is as important as every staff member. We will provide an atmosphere and experience they’ll never forget. This has been our strength and creed for all these years. It all started at the grassroots level of hockey with the Tim Hortons Timbits  tourney. It continued on to our elite levels… U15AA, U15AAA, U16AAA, U18AAA, to Jr hockey. This also included coaching against Team Canada’s National Women‘s Olympic team. 

Our open, honest, accountable, “we are a family first” attitude and philosophy is essential and very important to us. We pride ourselves in having a very strong and personable player/parent/staff relationship. After all we are all in this together just like a family. So like a family we fight for each other and stand behind each other.

We believe every aspect of a players life is crucial to their complete and proper player development. Our staff stress hockey isn’t just learned at the rink it’s also the life skills we learn thru hockey that makes the difference. We push our players to demand more of themselves and provide them with every opportunity to prove themselves. We aren’t just building and developing great young hockey players. We are building and developing great young adults.

“This game is simple if you want it to be. It’s rewarding, humbling, frustrating, passionate and exhilarating. However a few things it needs to be is something you believe in, something you enjoy and strive to become better or the best”.

We look forward to having a great hockey season with a great historical club.

I am honoured and blessed to be given another year with the Maple Leaf Athletic Club. Each year I start out with a plan. Each year the players show me another plan, then another plan. Then we work together to customize the perfect plan. We work together as a group, to grow into a team.
