Why a “D” in Kempenfeldt?
We know there’s no “D” in Kempenfelt, the “D” stands for:
Desire
Discipline
Dedication
These core principles are what we demand from our players at the arena, during practice and in a game.
Kempenfeldt Bay Raiders
During the summer of 2023 Andre Glazer and Jon Popple formed a coaching partnership leading a U10 Spring/Summer hockey program team to a highly successful season on and off the ice. Building on that partnership and a shared desire to lead a hockey development program, they teamed up to form the Kempenfeldt Bay Raiders and KBR Hockey Development.
Our dedicated coaching staff believes in a training philosophy that fosters the growth of each player individually and the team collectively. Our goal is to develop players that are creative, problem-solvers and good decision makers. We create a training environment that improves skill level while promoting hockey-sense for each individual. Our training program is based on the belief that the development of a hockey player integrates physical, mental, and tactical training while continuing to develop and expand a strong skill base for each individual.
We are very creative in our approach to training and developing a framework that is both challenging and rewarding. Development and improvement of personal and team skills on the ice occurs within our framework of teaching the game, and allows each player the best opportunity to reach their personal goals and excel.
