Regardless of what every one thinks they know about being a referee, coach, trainer or manager, they are all very demanding positions to hold. Only once you step into a pair of these shoes do you learn to appreciate the time and effort required to perform their duties. Of course, the bottom line is that the game would not be played without these people, but seldom do they receive the recognition they deserve.

At United Cycle we have experienced officials, coaches, managers and trainers on staff that know the good and the bad that come with the job. They also know that commitment and hard work will go a long way, but proper supplies and valuable information can make the job much easier.

United Cycle is one of the few stores in the country that has departments dedicated to helping these essential people. In partnership with Hockey Alberta, United Cycle has been able to establish the growth and development of a resource centre with information on skating, coaching, training, and officiating for all levels of hockey.

A wide variety of coaching resources are available including practice planners, game sheets, videos, coaching boards, drill books, rule books, skill and age specific books and binders, coach mate notepads and much more! See our Resource Center or ask sales staff for assistance.
