DDP Coaches
The home of the most engaged youth hockey coaches in America!
Our coaches are always trying to do more, learn more, and get better every day. We view ourselves as stewards and teachers. We want to grow a passion for this great game in every player we coach.
Development and engagement is at the core of all we do. If you love talking hockey, watching film, listening to hockey podcasts, hopping on Zooms to chat about hockey, going to coaching clinics, communicating with parents, and building something great...hop aboard!

Weekly Zoom Calls With Topher Scott and Hockey Think Tank
Topher is a 2-time captain of Cornell's Big Red, has coached 2 Hobey Baker winners, and most recently was Director of Operations for Michgan's Frozen Four team in 22-23.
The DDP has partnered with Topher's Hockey Think Tank to engage with his "Coaching Blueprint", where we participate in weekly coach zoom calls where we can talk shop and learn from high-level youth, college, and pro coaches. This HTT partnership also allows us access to a full suite of coaching "blueprint" services to the DDP to help us craft our summer on-ice curriculum and development plans.
NHL Comes to the Roosters!
We were fortunate to have a few calls with NHL Video Coach Lawrence Feloney (Nashville Predators) and have him help the Roosters go over the key tactical concept of "angling".
Thank you Coach Feloney!
