2024/2025 Season - U13 B

Coach Bio

Hi there! I'm Kevin Koslowski, Head Coach of the Ancaster Avalanche U13B team. I grew up in the small town of Port Dover, just 40 minutes from Ancaster. I played all of my minor hockey there, and at age 16, I started playing Junior hockey with the Port Dover Clippers Jr.C team. I went on to play a brief stint in Jr. B for the Ohsweken Golden Eagles at 19 years old, but trying to juggle college and Junior hockey became too much of a challenge, so school took precedence.

To this day, at age 46, I still play organized men's league hockey, just at a slower pace than I used to! I have two daughters involved in hockey, ages 6 and 12, and a beautiful wife, Lindsay, who is always in the stands cheering all of us on!

My main coaching philosophy is to keep hockey fun while showing my players what results can come from hard work and determination. I will create meaningful practice plans to build on the already existing skills of my players. A wise man once told me that teams must learn how to lose before they can understand how to win, and I believe this to be true, not only for the players, but for the coaches as well.

I look forward to a fun and successful 2024/2025 season and watching new relationships develop for players, coaches, and parents alike.
