Message from Ryan Essex, Head Coach 2020/21 Central York Bantam AA Panthers

We are excited to announce three key additions to our Bantam AA leadership team for the 2020/21 season.  Alex Copley joins our staff as a Goaltending and Assistant Coach bringing her own personal experience competing at the junior and university levels with her. As important is Alex’s experience training, coaching and developing goaltenders and mentoring young female athletes to reach their best.  

Peter Grant and Kevin Dutcher join our staff as Associate Coaches with deep resumes in coaching female athletes for development and teams to success.  One on one individual skill progression into strategic team tactics have been foundations of their coaching approach throughout and it is exciting to be adding their impressive track records to our leadership team.

What all three of these coaches have in common is their alignment with our positive player experience culture being paramount in our ultimate success.  Adding these three highly qualified and experienced coaches to our program is significant in providing our athletes with the resources required to maximize their on and off ice development within our positive team environment.
