CMHA Player Development
CMHA is once again hosting 2024-2025 Player Development program run by Coach Rufus Sweet and Coach Rob Newcombe.
Rufus is in his 50th year coaching minor hockey. He has coached male and female players from U7 to U18AAA,
High School hockey, and many spring and summer teams that have taken him across Canada, through the USA and to Europe. He takes pride in helping players develop on the ice but he feels it is just as important to develop and mature off the ice, taking the opportunity to teach life skills as well.
Rob has coached minor hockey ranging from U7 to U18 primarily in the United States. He led a U16AA team to compete in USA hockey’s national championship. He has completed USA Hockey’s advanced Level 5 coaching certification, the highest level of certification offered by USA Hockey’s Coaching Education Program. His thesis submitted for Level 5 certification was titled “How to Create Winning Habits”. Rob enjoys developing players' fundamentals and teaching winning habits that apply on and off the ice.
