Welcome to the Newmarket Renegades U9MD-1 (White) Team Page!
My name is Rob Schiavello, and I am excited to serve as the Head Coach for the 2026–27 hockey season.
I bring an extensive professional background in sport and fitness, beginning with my early years coaching AA and AAA hockey in the GTHL, and continuing through my experience as a personal trainer, fitness coach, and high school Physical Education teacher. Player development—both on and off the ice—has always been at the core of my coaching philosophy. Please take a moment to review my bio for more details.
This past season, we successfully established a U8MD program that demonstrated a strong commitment to player development while fostering a culture built on positivity, effort, and fun. In just their first year of competitive hockey, this 2018 group made tremendous progress, and I am incredibly proud of how far they’ve come. I look forward to building on that foundation and taking the program to the next level in the upcoming season.
I am eager to see all players at evaluations beginning April 13th and hope you share my excitement as we prepare for a season that is quickly approaching.
Please refer to the links below for more information on evaluation registration (opening April 1st) and the NMHA Rep Hockey Program of Excellence.
Looking forward to a great season ahead!
