Who We Are

Wheatland Hockey was built on a simple belief: every athlete deserves the chance to grow, belong, and love the game.

​

Founded by Coach Rich and Rachel, Wheatland offers development-focused programs for players of all skill levels. Our goal goes beyond hockey skills—we help athletes build confidence, resilience, and a strong foundation on and off the ice.

​

Coach Rich is a lifelong player, career educator, and experienced youth coach. With over a decade behind the bench—and as a goalie parent himself—he understands the commitment families make and creates environments where athletes feel supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow.

​

Our coaching team brings backgrounds in education, athletic therapy, and high-level hockey. They deliver more than drills and ice time, mentoring athletes in teamwork, character, and personal development.

​

Behind the scenes, Rachel leads operations and communication, ensuring families feel informed, supported, and connected.

​

Inclusion, access, and equity are core to how Wheatland operates. Pay-what-you-can spots make up approximately 10% of all our clinics, and we reserve spaces in our tryout preparation programs for athletes whose families may face financial barriers. Through our Wheatland Community Grant, we also help support hockey-related fees for families in our community—because opportunity should never be limited by circumstance.

​

Together, we’re building more than a hockey program.

Wheatland Hockey is a welcoming, values-driven community—where every athlete matters.
