The Official Coaching App of Minnesota Hockey

CoachThem is excited to announce our newest partnership, as the Official Coaching App of Minnesota Hockey!

Today, CoachThem announced a partnership with the State of Hockey to enhance the resources available to youth hockey coaches in Minnesota. As the Official Coaching App of Minnesota Hockey, CoachThem will provide tools to make practice planning more efficient and effective, in turn enhancing player development and enjoyment of the game.

The partnership signals of the launch of two initiatives focused on coaching resources. CoachThem will be the title sponsor of a Drill of the Week series, providing new drill ideas throughout the season and be a featured sponsor of Twig’s Takes, a video series featuring practice planning and instruction best practices from Minnesota Hockey’s player development team. 

"Minnesota Hockey is extremely excited about our new partnership with CoachThem,” said Steve Oleheiser, Minnesota Hockey president. “Coaches are the lifeblood of providing a great hockey experience to kids in our communities, and CoachThem will provide our youth hockey coaches with a valuable tool that can simplify their duties while furthering the skill development of players in Minnesota.”

CoachThem will also be a presenting partner of Minnesota Hockey’s Hockey Director Conference. The Hockey Director Conference annually supplies association hockey directors and player development coordinators with opportunities to learn best practices and network with youth hockey leaders across the state and country. 

"Since the release of our platform in 2017, the CoachThem team has looked up to Minnesota Hockey as the leaders in coaching and player development,” said Mike Weaver, CoachThem CEO. “Through our attendance at the State of Hockey Coaching Summit and work with numerous youth hockey associations throughout the State, we’ve experienced passion and innovation that are at the top of their class. We’re incredibly excited to offer our tools and resources to the coaches within Minnesota Hockey and support the continued development of our game.”

Registered Minnesota Hockey coaches will also be invited to an exclusive Minnesota Hockey coaches’ group where they can access all drills from the Drill of the Week series and easily integrate them within their practice plans.

Finalizing our partnership, CoachThem will be offering a discounted subscription rate for all Minnesota Hockey coaches, making using these tools and resources both accessible and affordable.

The partnership will officially kick off on Tuesday, September 22nd, when the first Drill of The Week goes live on the Minnesota Hockey website. Click here, to learn more about this initiative and the upcoming resources.
