SHAWN ELDER

Elder
was born and raised in the
Alberni
Valley and just
started coaching in AVMHA 6 years ago. Elder grew up playing soccer the
fall and winter and baseball in the spring. It wasn’t until 2002 that
Elder put on a pair of skates and started playing hockey. He hasn’t looked
back.
That
following year, his son started playing hockey too, so Elder became one of
the ‘Dad’s helping out on the ice’. He was hooked on coaching, and that
led him into taking coaching clinics and his development 1. Elder coached
the AV Atom Rep team last season with Dan Sexton, Steve
Selva and Greg Smyth.
He is
very excited to be coaching alongside Rick Geddes this year and “is
looking forward to the team coming together as a group. They are a group
of hard working kids and will be competitive in their tier this season”.
