PrintLarry Wood (U18 AA)

Larry was born and raised in the Newmarket area playing all of his minor rep hockey for the NMHA. He started his coaching career in the 1994/1995 season coaching the NMHA Midget AA team and will be entering his 25th season of coaching. Larry has had the opportunity to coach at all levels including A, AA, AAA, Varsity and Junior. He has also volunteered his time coaching football and Special Olympics golf.

Larry’s coaching philosophy has evolved over the years but he has always believed in creating a positive, strong and focussed environment for players to grow and compete as athletes and as individuals at the highest possible level.

In the last several years, Larry has focussed on the mental wellness of players embracing how the concepts of mental preparation can help players on the ice and in their own everyday lives.

Larry is very much looking forward to coaching the U18 AA team and creating an environment that is an incredible experience for not only players and their families but the organization and the community as well.
