Ben Gagnon

Ben has been playing hockey since a young age. He played minor hockey in his hometown of Hawkesbury, ON and played summer AAA hockey in the Ottawa region. After finishing minor hockey, he played for the Hawkesbury Hawks Junior A program before earning a full scholarship in the NCAA Division I where he played for Western Michigan University. After graduating University, he finished his hockey career playing Senior AAA. Throughout his years as a player, he also worked at various hockey schools.  Ben joined the Ice Cats program 5 years ago by helping with the Ice Kittens program and has been coaching Rep A hockey ever since. For Ben, development is key for the players.  His coaching philosophy is to create a positive team environment (with players and families), promote fun on and off the ice, focus on development, knowledge of the game, and improve skating skills while being competitive. He hopes for all his players to love the game as much as he does.  ×
