"Training sessions with Nick are always intense but enjoyable. He is an excellent coach - fun, relaxed and offers great feedback through customized training sessions. The speed and versatility of my game has improved significantly as I’ve been able to incorporate new skills into my play. Going into the NextGEN program and varsity level field hockey, Nick’s coaching has prepared me both physically and mentally for this higher level of competition."

Functional movements, the ‘core’ of good hockey players is moving efficiently. Thanks @ben.gilbertt for a session our legs won’t soon forget.

What a weekend for these guys. So proud of the way two teams came together so quickly to compete and grind out some wins at Cal Cup 2025.
U19s finished in 5th and U16s picked up a 🥉medal, not bad a for a group of kids that were learning each others names a few weeks ago.
Thanks to all the people who helped make this trip possible, can’t wait to do it again next year.
You need to learn to play gritty hockey before you can play pretty hockey. 🏑🌴🌊

The post is a little late, but can’t forget to recognize some incredible accomplishments by these athletes in Europe this spring donning the maple leaf.

Always a proud moment as a coach to see athletes I’ve spent lots of time with take on the next challenge in their hockey journey. And the new experiences they bring back with them only help to strengthen their home training environment.

Congrats team!

Operating under the theory that it’s 10 degrees colder at the hockey pitch than anywhere else in the city.

A huge congratulations to these three current and former Legacy athletes who competed in the Can Am Series in Toronto this past weekend. It’s so awesome to see these guys wearing the red and white after the years of hard work they’ve put in (and lots and lots of flat stick tackling drills).

Thanks to @dinosfhc for putting on a great tournament this weekend. Awesome way to wrap up our indoor season with some excellent competition.

While we’re looking forward to outdoors, we also can’t wait for next winter and more tackles like this ➡️

@fhalberta @canadianindoorclassic

What a weekend for these guys. We keep putting new challenges in front of them and they keep rising to the occasion.

Thanks to @canadianindoorclassic for putting on a fantastic tournament, can’t wait until next year. Thanks also to our fantastic parent entourage for driving through an actual blizzard, running errands, troubleshooting our new camera and writing inspiring quotes on the board, we’re lucky to have such a supportive tribe behind us.

Outstanding performances all around but a special shout out to @victoria.zaccagnini.fh and @m.yanggoalkeeping for their individual awards. Not a bad showing for a group of kids from Calgary. Best is still yet to come. Stay tuned for highlights.

Sometimes it all just comes together.

What a weekend for this group. I continue to be inspired by the passion, the commitment and the resilience these young ladies show as they work on their craft. A weekend full of daring to be bold in uncomfortable situations and a weekend of great performances. I’m so proud of this team and the culture they’ve created. I cannot wait to take this squad back next year. #cowichan #indoorhockey #yyc #legacyacademy #culture #fieldhockey #begreat #fieldhockeyalberta

Zero fun was had by the Stars and Flamingos over the weekend. Congrats to this whole group on two days of quality hockey, practicing good habits, and growing the culture of the program.

A special shout out to Layla for playing in NINE matches over the two days.

Thank you to @clfha for putting on the event! Always a great way to kick off the new year!

Couldn’t be more thankful to be surrounded by such an inspiring group of athletes and coaches.

Also, couldn’t be more proud of this group for the way they came together and battled through tough playing conditions, brutal travel days, lost bags, and stiff competition. Great teams are built on the backs of these shared experiences.

We did have the smallest bit of fun also☀️🌊🏝️🏑🎯🐓

Can confirm we did not need to water the turf at last week’s session. #waterban #yyc #whenitrainsitpours #fieldhockey #fieldhockeyskills #fieldhockeytraining #begreat

Always such a treat to watch this group play, and what a cool experience to watch so many athletes we’ve worked with represent their province on home turf. Really proud of the effort and the growth game to game for a young team that shows so much promise. This group has got something cooking. #nationals #fieldhockey #yyc #legacyacademy #letthemcook #begreat #proud

A very different feeling watching these guys play on a livestream versus from the sideline. Still super proud of this group and the way they battled. Maybe not the desired results, but huge growth, some really nice performances, and a lot to take away from the tournament and be proud of.

Each year in June, we award one graduating athlete the Megan Scraper TRY Scholarship.

The award, named after a remarkable young woman, is given to an athlete who pushes herself out of her comfort zone, takes on challenges with no guarantee of success, and boldly takes action and ownership.

Congratulations to our 2024 winner, Amelia Hinton.

As Megan would say, “your best life begins with your decision to try.”

What a weekend for this group at CalCup. Stepping into unfamiliar territory and showing a willingness to battle and play gritty hockey, game after game. I couldn’t be more proud of the performances from the group, and the way each individual was able to adapt and overcome and grow. The tournament ended in a silver medal. Congrats on an excellent weekend ladies! ☀️🏝️🏑🥈

Happy International Women’s Day to the powerful and inspiring ladies that I’ve had the privilege of working with. To all the incredible athletes and trailblazers. Today, we celebrate the talent, dedication, and passion of our young women who are shaping the future of this sport. Keep chasing your dreams, breaking boundaries, and inspiring us all on and off the pitch. #internationalwomensday #fieldhockey #begreat

Five very deserving young ladies got to wear the maple leaf this past weekend at the Big Apple indoor tournament in Pennsylvania. I’m super proud of this group for their perseverance against some really tough competition. Can’t wait to see what this game has in store for them next.

Shoutout to the awesome and inspiring young ladies that I get to work with each week. Your drive, dedication and passion is phenomenal. Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day! #nationalgirlsandwomeninsportsday

Just taking a minute to reflect on how lucky I am to be a part of a group with such excellent and inspiring young athletes, such supportive parents, such caring and dedicated coaches.

What an excellent weekend of hockey these teams played. I’m proud of their quality on the field, but I’m more proud of the culture they displayed off of it.

A big thank you to @cowichanfieldhockey for putting on this tournament, we can’t wait to come back next year! Stars, Flamingos, congratulations to you both.

#begreat #wecomeinflat #cowichan #champs #fieldhockey #culture

It’s that time of year again. So stoked to be heading back to Cowichan with this crew. #legacyacademy #begreat #fieldhockey #indoors #cowichan

Huge congratulations to two of our Alumni in @elesp_3 and @m4ddieskeans. These two finished their season at @uoftfieldhockey this year, winning the OUA title and finishing second in Usports. Big things to come from both of these outstanding athletes, and we couldn’t be more proud. #begreat

Such a cool picture. It wasn’t too long ago these two were competing on a weekly basis as the Legacy Stars and Flamingos, now we get to watch them on a bigger stage. So proud of these two for pursuing hockey into their university career.

#begreat #usports #fieldhockey #yyc #legacyacademy

So much to say about this team.

I’ve been working with most of this group for the better part of two years, some even longer. Over that time, watching this group learn the game, turn up to training with the right mindset, work to get better, overcome setbacks, and just plain persevere, this is what makes coaching so rewarding. A wise manager once said “this is why we put kids in sports, to learn these lessons.”

I couldn’t be more proud of this group. They hockey they played, they way they competed, how they grew as individuals and as a team. This is a special group, and one that I’m very lucky to be able to work with.

We got some hardware this time, but there’s much more to come. 🥉

#staytuned #begreat #legacyacademy #fieldhockey #fieldhockeyalberta #proudcoach #nationals

Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of coaching a number of the awesome athletes and humans pictured above. Congrats to them for the wonderful hockey they played this past weekend, the spirit they competed with, and the way they proudly representing this province.

#fieldhockeyalberta #alberta #yyc #fieldhockey

An awesome spring season with a great group of athletes. Seeing these guys come in with a mindset to compete and get better each week is what makes this fun. Can’t wait to continue our learning. Thanks for a great outdoor program and we’ll see you back in the fall for indoors!

Each year we present one graduating athlete with an award that is very important to the program. The Megan Scraper TRY Scholarship is awarded to the athlete who best embodies the courage, leadership, and willingness to try that made Megan such an influential person. Thanks to a generous contribution from the Scraper family, the winner also receives a $1000 scholarship.

Congratulations to the 2023 winner Mannat Dhillon.

Your best life begins with your decision to try. - Megan Scraper

So proud of this group representing @fhc_youth at the Den Bosch International Tournament.

This is what players taking ownership of their training environment looks like. We’re not just going through the motions, we’re thinking about what the activity calls for, we’re communicating with our teammates, and we’re executing a plan. This is player engagement, and I’ve got time for this.
