PHP U22 AA & U18 AA coaching announcement
The Central Panthers are proud to announce that Steve Dempsey will continue as the head coach for our U22 AA and U18 AA teams for the 25/26 season.



Steve Dempsey will be going into his sixth season with the U22 AA team and third season since taking over the U18 AA program in May 2023. Steve has a similar approach with each team as both teams are within the CYGHA Panthers High Performance program. For the past six years he has focused his energy on both recruiting and building an elite homegrown high performance program that offers players the opportunity to train and practice in a unique pre-university setting. Focusing on family core values like accountability, selflessness, attitude, and respect he is determined to build a program that resonates with like minded character focused players.

Previous to taking on this position, he was an assistant coach for 12 years with the York University Lions women's hockey team beginning in 2009 working with Dan Church, the former Canadian Olympic Coach. Steve was responsible for taking the lead role with the defense and the penalty kill units. Under Steve's guidance he has helped several defenders receive Ontario and Canadian First and Second Team All-star positions. The penalty kill unit was ranked as one of the top 5 penalty kill units in the country twice during his time at York.

In addition to his work with the Lions, Steve has been a Head Coach with the Ontario Women's Hockey Association High Performance U16 and U18 programs. In 2014 and 2019 his team went undefeated during the summer development camp.

Internationally, he has also worked with the New Zealand National Women's team program as a mentor coach. In 2012 he helped New Zealand to their best IIHF World ranking and their best finish at the IIHF World Championships.

Steve Dempsey is a fully certified NCCP HP1 and HP2 level coach and has been certified in Hockey Canada's High Performance Program. He has been coaching for over 35 years in competitive, house league, and high school settings in hockey, soccer, and softball.
