MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
- What is Mentorship at Evolution?
The Evolution Hockey Mentorship Program is a 12 month program beginning the first of September each calendar year. It revolves around providing tailored support to players’ unique needs throughout their journey of engagement and growth. This approach is offered within the Mentorship program where we seek to address the diverse needs of players at their different stages. We aim to help players get better on and off the ice, through collaborative assessment.
Our goal is to help your athlete take their performance to the next level by pairing them with a dedicated Evolution coach who is committed to their development, game play and personal growth. Their Evolution coach is here to support the athlete’s hockey journey. They will attend/watch games (where available), do video clipping and work with the skater/goalie to assess their needs, set clear goals and provide guidance.
