About Us
Founding Coach Arvin Atwal
Coach Arvin grew up playing in the North Delta Minor Hockey Association. His journey began as a 14 year old kid drafted by the Prince Albert Raiders in the Western Hockey League. Shortly after he signed his first WHL contract as a raider, he was traded to his hometown Vancouver Giants as a 16 year old and officially started his major junior career shortly after. He played 3 full seasons for the Vancouver Giants before finishing his WHL career with the Lethbridge Hurricanes.
Coach Arvin is going into his 8th year of Professional hockey at the DEL, AHL, ECHL level. He has learned from the best skills, skating, and hockey coaches in the game. With all this accumulated knowledge, Arvin still remains a student of the game and is constantly learning and watching where the game is trending. Even though each player is unique, Arvin knows that each player must have certain fundamentals engrained into them to give themselves the best chance at maximizing their true potential within their own game.
