We greatly look forward to seeing all of the 05 players out at spring skates leading up to tryouts. You will hear from us this upcoming week with dates and times.

Dave has been coaching hockey for the past 30 years and soccer for the past 20.  His approach to Midget Major is that it is a year where other commitments start to take as big a priority as hockey (school and work), so his approach to coaching this age group is understanding how to deal with players other priorities. His staff is young and ambitious and will take on additional responsibilities to further prepare them for coaching in their future. Dave and his staff has coached the Midget Major team in RMHA the past 2 seasons and are hoping to build on the success we have had and have fun doing it.

Coach Todd has led previous Ranger teams to OMHA Championships. He and his staff elevated the 03's to a 4th place finish in the Bluewater hockey league in the 2013-14 season.
