SCOTT CLYDESDALE

 

This is Scott Clydesdale’s 6^th season coaching for AVMHA. Born in Powell River, B.C, and raised in Port Alberni, Clydesdale didn’t start playing hockey until just 7 years ago. He started out with the Parks and Recreation ‘Rookie Program’ with Ron Doetzel. It was around the same time that his wife and daughter started playing hockey and the family hasn’t looked back.

Clydesdale began coaching in 2004 in the Mites division. He credits another AVMHA coach, Mark Addy, with whom he ‘learnt so much’ from. Clydesdale took his necessary coaching clinics and still enjoys learning from other coaches. After coaching 1 year Mites, 2 years Novice and 2 years in Atom, he moved up this year to coach the Pee-Wee B team alongside Geddes and Elder. Clydesdale really enjoys coaching and states that,” I have learned with the kids and I am still learning”.
