Meet Derek McKinlay! Your U13 B Coach!!
It’s great to be back behind the bench!




I’ve been in love with the game of hockey since I first laced up my skates at the age of 3. I’ve competed at a high level since I was 16, from playing Jr. A with the Sarnia Sting to starting my pro career with the Shreveport Mudbugs.

My goal as a coach goes far beyond wins and losses — I want to help shape great people, not just great players. I believe in teaching kids to be selfless, supportive teammates both on and off the ice. Every shift should be something they’re proud of.

I’m excited to bring a fresh start to the U13 B Rep team. I want each player to push themselves — and each other — to be their absolute best. My vision is to build a positive, hard-working, and tight-knit group that supports one another and strives for growth every single day.
