Mike Ellis Coaching Bio
I am really excited to Coach Atom A/BB this season! Learned so much last season coaching novice girls and looking forward to help them develop the correct skating skill technique and how to be a great teammate to help them enjoy the game forever!  

Experience:
 I have played for and coached Professional Hockey teams in Europe from 1994 to 2012 while gaining valuable life experience. Since leaving the bench in 2012 I have started instructing/teaching game specific skills to all ages from North American grass roots to active NHL players. I have discovered that this is where my passion lies.

My most valuable skills are my ability to communicate with the player and analyze their positional specific skill sets to define their strengths and weaknesses. I am able to take the correct movement within a skill and translate its importance to the team’s game plan and success. I believe my European and NHL coaching experience and past successes have given me the ability to identify what separates the best from the rest!
