Welcome to the 2025 – 2026 Season for the CYGHA Panthers U18BB Team

I am ecstatic to be the head coach for this season and look forward to the challenge.

I would like to thank the parents for the opportunity you have provided me to coach and mentor your child. I take this responsibility very seriously and am fully committed and dedicated to your child’s development.

Process Over Outcome/s

My main goal and hockey philosophy is to develop the athlete’s skills for future success, further help build friendships, hard work ethic and determination in a fun and structured environment.
I have a proven record of developing players and moving them to higher levels of play, Player and Skill Development is my focus.
Staying positive in every situation builds confident players. Build a confident player and you will be amazed at the results regardless of talent/skill level.

The Panther High Performance Program is pleased to confirm that David Heath will again coach the U15AA team for the 2026-2027 season.

The goal of this campaign is to reduce the cost barriers for female athletes looking to start playing hockey. Ultimately, a successful campaign would allow the CYGHA to completely waive registration fees for new players! The campaign web site can be found here: www.victoryvault.ca
