The NMHA has selected Bob Harper and Stephen Parker as the Head Coaches for the 2025/26 U14AA team.
Both Bob and Stephen are returning to the NMHA as non-parent coaches but they each have a long standing relationship with the Nighthawks. Welcome back Bob and Stephen, we thank you for your interest in coaching again!
Steve and Bob grew up in the Northumberland area where they played minor hockey with the Cobourg Minor Hockey Association and began their coaching journey in Northumberland more than a decade ago.
A combined 30 plus years of coaching experience collectively, Steve and Bob bring extensive coaching experience to the U14AA group. With a coaching philosophy focused on player, team and personal development in a positive, team-oriented environment. Players selected for the U14AA team can expect to develop individual and team skills and will get the chance to play in all situations throughout the season.
"Our feeling is that players need the opportunity to play in all situations to have the opportunity to reach their full potential, maximize skill development and confidence. We are looking forward to working with the players this year. Developing a strong, positive team-oriented and fun environment that will encourage each player to grow and develop.
See you all at the rink.
Steve & Bob"
